Clumsy Beauty

Poems for Hearing the 'I Love You' in Everything

Poetry is a high wire act, performance art—for some writers. J. K. Kennedy finds it to be her path to clarity, a clearing of destructive thought clutter, a crystallization of love, limitlessness, and the beauty of human existence. Clumsy Beauty is her first book.

PEOPLE FORAGER

I will forever be
foraging for
people who
help me see
the world in kaleidoscope.
The ones who notice
what I do not.
The ones who effortlessly
flip me upside down
so that I may come to
understand a beautiful view
that I did not even know existed.
