Publisher Comments

Poetry. "In Kelle Groom's LUCKILY, tenderness transforms violence: 'A kiss on a cigarette burn.' In poems both mysterious and candid, Groom captures domesticity and dream, internal and external landscapes, addiction and recovery. Groom is pitch perfect when it comes to emotional nuance. She constructs flawless images about our miraculous, vulnerable bodies. Luckily is a fierce and important book"--Denise Duhamel. Kelle Groom's first collection of poems is Underwater City. Her poems have appeared in Agni, Barrow Street, Crab Orchard Review, DoubleTake/Points of Entry, Florida Review, The New Yorker, Poetry, The Texas Observer, Witness, 88: A Journal of Contemporary American Poetry and other magazines.

Review

"Kelle Groom's exhilarating poems put human intoxicants (like love) close to hand. As they sweep a sometimes painful burden of experience along one unforeseeable line after another, they also offer a crash course in how, when forgetting's not an option, memory takes another deep breath and works like mercy." Terri Witek
