Singing Over Bones is a fierce and tender debut reckoning with what remains after loss. Drawing from the folkloric tradition of La Loba—the wolf woman who resurrects life by singing over bones—Amy Singh excavates fragments of being from the shattered silence of intimate violence to the thundering chorus of street protest, from ancestral wounds to future hope, and borders that cut through both lands and hearts.

Moving fluidly between English, Hindi, and Panjabi, these poems map love and resistance across generations and geographies. Whether addressing lovers, oppressors, or the city of Lahore, Singh’s poems carry both blade and balm. Here is poetry that remembers how to salvage beauty from brokenness and build bridges across borders both physical and psychological.

 

About the Author

Amy Singh writes from the crossroads of the personal and political, tracing the fault lines of love, loss, and longing through her poetry. Known as Chandigarh to Lahore wali Amy, her poem Daak: To Lahore with Love sparked a cross-border letter-writing movement.

She hosts Agla Warqa: The Partition Podcast and founded Cross Connection Poetree, a street performance initiative that reclaims public spaces through art, bringing poetry to unexpected places. Her work has been featured in Vogue, BBC, The Indian Express, Hindustan Times, Nishan Magazine, and other publications.
