I am excited to announce Carbonation 007, found confetti by Rhea Melina. It’s been fantastic working on this book with Rhea!
In found confetti, Rhea Melina’s fusion of performance-poet style and page-poet aesthetics continues to push unflinchingly into life’s difficult places. This debut full collection shows what our wounds can teach us, and these poems invite us all to not only heal, but to celebrate. “To save ourselves,” she writes, “We must redefine beauty.”
