My Dreams Out in the Street
Kim Addonizio writes like Lucinda Williams sings,
with hard-earned grit and grace about the heart's
longing for love and redemption, the kind that can
only come in the darkest dark when survival no longer
even seems likely. MY DREAMS OUT IN THE STREET is one
of the finest American novels I've read in some time,
a night-blooming flower you will not be able to put
down, so honestly rendered you'll wonder, as you turn
the last page, why you feel so much hope. —Andre Dubus III

Little
Beauties
Now in paperback
In Kim Addonizio's fanciful and witty novel, I
can't decide whose voice I like more: the obsessive compulsive's,
the pregnant teenager's, or the newborn's. Each is great—sharp,
funny, and above all surprising. One thing they all share is their
creator's love of language. These are voices that will continue to
resonate long after you've read the last page of the book. —Jenny

What
Is This Thing Called Love
Now in paperback
Unashamedly populist, and often charming, Addonizio's
fourth book of verse explores the pleasures of sex, the pains of mourning,
the efforts of raising a daughter and the difficulties of minor celebrity,
setting all her musings and recollections in a style two parts confessional,
one part stand-up comedy, and one part talking blues. —Publishers
