Cyrus Cassells, the 2021 Texas Poet Laureate had this to say about this collection:
“As KB navigates burning issues of love, identity, race, and enforced gender, bearing witness to how intimacy can be a battleground, a declared truce, or an Eden, How to Identify Yourself with a Wound is never less than compelling and absorbing: ‘Let me tell you the story of a tenderness the world refused to call / beautiful but it lives.’ The powerful lines, the no-holds-barred voice, and risk-taking candor of these dynamic debut poems make the reader hungry for a whole volume.”
Chosen by iconic contemporary poet Ire’ne Lara Silva, this collection features “Raw honesty paired with concise language”
This collection releases during the opening weeks of 2022!
Only $12.95
