Brood. Debut poetry collection by Kelly Granito.
5.53 X 8.27
46 Pages.
Kelly Granito is a poet, educator, and naturalist from Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she lives with her husband, kids, cat, and too many plants. Her poetry has been featured in the Emerson Review, Iron Horse Review, the Louisville Review, Burrow Press, Midwestern Gothic, and many other journals.
... With precise language and electrifying imagery, Granito's pieces tackle the nostalgic self-

-Brigit Kelly Young is the author of several award-winning books for young adults.

Additionally, Ms. Young has published short fiction and poetry in journals like The North American Review, 2 River View, Eclectica Magazine, and Burrow Press, among others.
In Brood, Kelly Granito masterfully blends vivid nature imagery with complex reflections on motherhood... Yet, amid this tension, tiny moments of levity have the power to make 'a photon / an inferno that calls us in like moths / again / and again...'
-Denise Sedman is an award-winning poet and author of the poetry collection The Past Isn't Done with Me Yet. She has been published widely in literary journals and anthologies.
