Poems by Kelly J. Powell

The first book of poetry by Kelly J. Powell in nearly a decade! A collection we've all been waiting for! 

Over 200 pages of poetry! 
​

"Kelly J. Powell’s work is, by turns, literate, prayerful, mournful, and playful. The poems are Greek classic, beat cool, biblical, and now.  Powell’s clear eyed vision, her honesty, makes the intensely personal universal here.  The imagery is divine, poems threaded with beach grass, music, light, and mother love.  The language is lush where is needs to be and spare when nothing else will do.  Powell’s collection ultimately reassures that we are all in a state of grace."
​
~ Mary Jane Tenerelli
