Growth and Grievances

This debut poetry collection by Kay McDonnal explores the quiet wreckage and quiet resilience of existence in the in-between. Blending hybrid prose with poetic fragments, these pieces explore motifs of memory, identity, gratitude, faith, and emotional ambiguity. Written with intimacy, edge, and lyric experimentation, this book speaks to anyone navigating grievances, forgiveness, spiritual tension, or the messy process of becoming. Not every poem offers resolution. But each one bears witness.
