In Confirm Humanity, Kim Mannix delivers a hauntingly honest collection of poems that explore the fragile balance between joy and sorrow, asking what it means to endure, observe, and feel deeply in a beautifully broken world.
The poems in Confirm Humanity are often juxtapositions between life's joyful moments and the inevitably sorrowful.
With a background in journalism, Mannix's perspective frequently comes from a place of observation; asking why people do the maddening things they do, and what, if anything, is the solution? The writing touches on the darkness of humanity, and the ways we-as citizens, women, mothers-learn to endure and persevere in light. There is awe for the natural world, but also cynicism and grief about how humans interact with the earth and one another.
Like the box on a website that asks you to click to confirm you are human, these poems collectively ask their reader to consider the complexity of human emotion and action in this mysterious, maddening, and ultimately beautiful world.
