“nothing simple about it”

This is how Joan Wickersham reckons with Kelle Groom’s new memoir. How to Live. I first read Kelle Groom when I was assigned to review her beautiful memoir I Wore the Ocean in the Shape of a Girl. Since then we have become friends and comrades. I envy her strong, essential boundaries, which assure her the time and space to write. I marvel at her prolific publications of excellent poems and uncanny essays. And I’m so excited for How to Live to arrive October 1st. This book will change the way you understand, the way you see.
