Finding her way forward in the post-truth world, Jessica Cohn marks a path with rocks, ribbons, and observations in verse. In GRATITUDE DIARY, the first poetry collection from this long-time nonfiction writer, the poems follow an arc from grief and regret to illumination—from broken islands and rancid flower water to communal fire and the medicine creek. Within these pages, readers are fitted with “the apparatus of wings” to find the healing and “terrible beauty” found in “stranger things.” A Michigan native, Cohn has made homes in Illinois, New York, and most recently, Aptos, California, where she started a poetry practice with the support of the Santa Cruz community of writers.

Hilary King was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. After spending over twenty years in Atlanta, Georgia, she moved with her family to the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Her poems have appeared in many publications, and she has been nominated for Pushcarts and Best of the Web. She is currently an MFA student at San Jose State, she is also an editor for DMQ Review. Her book of poems, Stitched on Me, was published this fall by Riot in Your Throat Press. She loves hiking, travel, and ribbon. For more information, please visit hilarykingwriting.com.
