Standing on Our Last Bones

“We are stitched together by grief, resilience, and a thousand small acts of survival.” Standing on Our Last Bones is a soulful, poetic offering from Zimbabwean-born, British author Ngonidzashe Diana Johns. Weaving memoir, verse, and cultural remembrance, this collection navigates chronic illness, ancestral memory, womanhood, and the sacred art of slow becoming. With unflinching honesty and lyrical beauty, Ngoni writes for the women who are still rising, still aching, still becoming. This is a book for anyone who has lived through the storm and dared to name the light.
