About Yrsa Daley-Ward

Hi, I’m Yrsa Daley-Ward.

You might know me as a poet, novelist, performer, or from one of my books, The Terrible, bone, The How, or The Catch.

This is the utter, a living, breathing journal about the poetry of existence. A stream of consciousness. An unedited, weekly newsletter, a home for the raw, unpolished, and deeply true things I can’t (and won’t) post anywhere else.

the utter is where I write about what it actually feels like to be alive; love, depression, sex, hope, creative survival, money, grief, family, and the mess we’re all trying to turn into meaning.
