She Used to Be on a Milk Carton

Praise:

5/5 Foreword Reviews: “The arrival of a new poet doesn’t cause stars to wobble or birds to fall from trees—as far as we know—but heads do turn and the inevitable sizing up begins immediately. Kailey Tedesco, help yourself to a glass of bubbly, you are welcome here. Indeed, you’ll liven this place up with your kinetic enthusiasm and volubility.” -Matt Sutherland

“In the dark glittering magic of these poems, Kailey Tedesco tears the caul away from the female experience, all at once unique and familiar – its potential victim-ness transformed into a thing of power…”
-Genevieve Betts, author of An Unwalled City

“…visceral mood pieces, throbbing, breathless and heady. Where past and present intersect, where the body and the mind are both at odds and at once intimate lovers, these poems suspend, magically and surprisingly, what we know of the shadowy and hidden world we inhabit. These poems are scarlet, heavy brocaded curtains, in dark Victorian rooms where spirits both real and imagined might lurk.”
-Michelle Reale, Author of All These Things Were Real: Poems of Delirium Tremens and Birds of Sicily
