MESSY

In her second book of poetry, Kimmy Joy invites us to dig our hands into mess -- personal and corporeal, , great and small, curable and chronic -- with her signature mise-en-scene. Each confession, ode, observation, and prayer crackles with wit and lucidity. Grounded in a familiar world of burnout, grief, and isolation, MESSY navigates deftly to a center of humor and connection, hope and understanding.
