The Optimist 
Shelters in Place

HARBOR EDITIONS

"Through the lens of collective tragedy and the lived experience of a woman alone, these neo-confessional poems balance the ache of imagining families 'sobbing' in hospital parking lots with the personal loss of long isolation, the fresh finality of divorce, and even the tedious need to clean the shower." 

 

LISA FEY COUTLEY, author of tether

"Hold tight, this collection will take you on a journey, as it leans into the underbelly of 'where the smoke becomes insightful',"

Parrot Flower 

GLASS POETRY PRESS

In Parrot Flower, Kimberly Ann Priest writes through the process of survival, what it takes for a person to live with trauma and all the real ways in which it manifests—art and casual sex, cutting and therapy, fear and a pair of comfortable shoes. In this collection, we realize that no part of recovering is clean or easy, but as Priest reminds us, "People do you know. [Survive.]"
