Good Girl and Other Yearnings

By Isabelle Correa

Good 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.

This 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.

Raw 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.
