Praise
"Glandscapes is a triumph, is massively generous, and also just plainly a pleasure to read."
Hanif Abdurraqib, author of
A Little Devil in America
“Kennedy's arresting debut, Worth Burning, is unapologetic, life-affirming. No recent book of poems has more lushly and precisely rendered a world and the difficult and wonderful people who make it real.”
