Good Girl and Other Yearnings by Isabelle Correa
Good Girl and Other Yearnings by Isabelle Correa
Isabelle Correa's Good Girl and Other Yearnings turns the confessional genre on its head: a kaleidoscope of girlhood, longing, and truth.
No one likes a mirror when they expected a window, but trauma shakes the roots of our very identities. Correa explores how healing happens on every level: atomic, corporeal, corporate, and cosmic. Raw and lyrical, these poems are an evocative reclamation of self. When existential dread is throwing punches, Correa dares to bet boldly on existential hope.
So join Correa in the sacred space between heartbreak and healing.
It’s safe
like an ambulance
is safe.
You being
inside
means
you’re already hurt.
