Good Girl and Other Yearnings - Isabelle Correa

\nGood Girl and Other Yearnings is epic in its scope-from Quantum Mechanics And You to Little Red Riding Hood Buys A 6-Pack After EMDR, these poems turn the confessional genre on its head. Correa's debut full-length collection explores how trauma shakes the foundations of identity, and how healing happens on every level: atomic, corporeal, corporate, and cosmic. \n \n\n \nThis poetry collection tells the story of survival, desire, and shame. Correa covers a vast landscape of experience-childhood, fertility, loss, abuse, drugs, astrology, the 9-5-in a singular voice that makes you feel grounded and untethered all at once. \n \nRaw and lyrical, personal and expansive, achingly honest and linguistically delightful, these poems are an evocative reclamation of self, a bold bet on existential hope when existential dread is throwing punches. \n \n\n
