She Used to Be on a Milk Carton
She Used to Be on a Milk Carton | Kailey Tedesco
1 post | 1 to read
Between body and spirit, place and soul, love and trauma, and logic and magic, Kailey Tedesco finds herself between two worlds in this stunning collection of debut poetry. Treading the line between the dual nature of our human spirit, this collection brings to light what our physical, and then spiritual, selves' place is in the cosmos and the realm beyond our immediate sight. Through images of Catholicism, heavenly bodies, caul births, dark magic, serpents, and God, Tedesco challenges what it means to be Woman in a world so clouded by opposing truths, illuminating herself and elevating our human experience.

It‘s always hit and miss for me with poetry. Some of these poems really resonated with me, others did not. The ones that stuck with me did so because of their striking imagery and creepy weirdness.

One poem used red and white to talk about how stressful it is to grow up with religious expectations, walking through the world just waiting to be tainted. It really struck a chord with me.
