Good Girl & Other Yearnings



From "Quantum Mechanics And You" to"Little Red Riding Hood Buys A 6-Pack After EMDR," these poems turn the confessional genre on its head. Correa's debut full-length collection explores how trauma shakes the foundations of identity, and how healing happens on every level: atomic, corporeal, corporate, and cosmic. Raw and lyrical, personal and expansive, these poems are an evocative reclamation of self, a bold bet on existential hope when existential dread is throwing punches.

Good Girl and Other Yearnings looks to the past, to girlhood and family, through the slant mirror of poetry. The speaker never pretends to be wise; she understands life through a series of visions, symbols, and memories seen from a million angles.
