Autorenporträt
Kelly Lynn Curry is the poet your mother warned you about. She's fragile, feral, and fluent in survival. Kelly crafts poems that sleep with knives under their pillows at night. They pick apart illness, trauma, and the mess of being human. She also explores the strange intimacy of living inside a fragile body. She's brutally honest and a little bit unhinged. With a style that blends gothic sharpness and quiet tenderness, her poems trace the fragile line between hurt and hope. They are crafted like old cassette mixtapes made up of feral love notes, side-eye confessions, and the occasional ghost. Every stanza snarls, and every line smirks. Her poems are not here to be polite. She is the author of Radiant Poppy, The Living Affliction, In This Flesh, and Breath and Bone, all of which prove that her softness is a strength. Read at your own risk: tenderness is weaponized here, with every line being a dare to look inward. If you're not bruised by the end, you probably skipped the best parts.Oh, and she's anti-crowds and pro-dramatic sighs.
