Description:Love isn’t always pretty, yet most of us choose to remain constant in its pursuit. These poems unwrap the mythos of romance with the clairvoyance of a writer who knows the best and worst of relationships inside and out. LeBlanc dares to honestly show us how even when the best of intentions fail, we can always find beauty if we stay true to the monsters in ourselves. **A reckless love is everywhere in these poems, along with the risks we take to be in the presence of the beloved, and how violence can sometimes flow alongside passion. Near the end of this journey, LeBlanc confesses, I write poems . . . to keep the monster in the closet. Here, then, are her beautiful monsters.~ Nick Flynn, author of I Will Destroy You and The Ticking is the BombThe poems that make up Courtney LeBlanc’s debut collection, Beautiful and Full of Monsters are self-conscious in the way love always is always self-conscious. These poems are dispatches, slices of confession cut from an unfiltered human life. LeBlanc searches the rubble of dissolved love, entanglements, and desire to find and polish cracked pebbles and allow them to gleam. The search for certainty in the chaos of desire is a task for an optimist, and LeBlanc’s work remains hopeful, even when navigating assault, abuse, and pain. Even as she falls in and out of love with herself and her lovers. ~ Seema Reza, author of A Constellation of Half-Lives and When the World Breaks OpenCourtney LeBlanc invites us into her newest collection by a title, Beautiful and Full of Monsters, that prepares us for the tension-filled poems we are about to experience, a tension that never flags.
