“Grey’s poems are perpetual clarifications that resist too much clarification.”—Ron Slate These inventive and agonizing poems look, in heartbreaking paradox, to language to explore its efforts and inadequacies, as they grapple with disintegrating love and surging terror in modern society. Urgently, Kimberly Grey explores the need for empathy and consolation—our desire (and responsibility) as beings in the world to express the inexpressible, comprehend the incomprehensible, bear the unbearable. Communing throughout with literary forebearers—Anne Carson, Jack Gilbert, Sina Queyras Gertrude Stein—Grey looks to build “language systems” in order to help us create relevant expressions for expressing awe, confusion, bewilderment, nostalgia, horror, and joy.

One of the great pleasures of reading and writing poetry is hearing how words sound together. “Calico Pie” takes readers to the “syllabub sea,” and the other 22 poems in this volume similarly showcase rhyme, creative word choice, and imagery that are as fun to read aloud as they are to imagine. Readers are also introduced to great writers such as Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Robert Burns, and more. Complemented by lovely illustrations, each poem helps engage readers with skills taught in the language arts curriculum.
A revealing scrutiny of contemporary marriage; winner of the 2015 Lexi Rudnitsky First Book Prize in Poetry. Can the notion of Romantic love withstand our endless postmodern moment? In these extraordinary poems, Kimberly Grey explores our abiding need for neatness, order, and symmetry in matrimony, considering our ideals for love and language in this digital age—its weightless, distracting, and inescapable pressures. She portrays the ways in which love reflects us back to ourselves: familiar but strange, predetermined but new. There is “a drop of blue light,” she writes. “But no high-tech way / to say you’re mine. No way to love / each other but with these ancient bodies."
