Love and Errors: A Book of Poetry
Bring a reading of Love and Errors to your local bookstore, poetry slam, café or library.
|
Love and Errors, Kimberly's first published book, is the Winner of the American Book Fest's 2019 American Literature Awards, in the Narrative Poetry Category.
In Love and Errors, Dark makes the personal public, and the public personal. In both personal and fictional accounts, these intimate poems navigate experiences with love(s), gender roles, violence and survival. Love and Errors is a heartbreaking critique, and yet a heartwarming account, of the personal and collective journey back to connection, love, and peace. In the wake of movements like #metoo, Time’s Up Now, and the International Women’s March, Love and Errors has never been more relevant or necessary. |

"She has such a way of taking you out of your thoughts and telegraphing everything that she is experiencing into your brain... This book is exceptional in every way and will help to heal those who are in need of healing."

"I've always loved Kimberly's work, loved the strength and beauty of her renditions, loved the insights and grace of the arrangement of her words, compiling verse line upon verse line to capture the secrets of our dreams and deepest instincts. Radical, lovely..."

"Dark's Love and Errors maps a terrain of many violences encountered by women, the body, the environment, language, and colonialism, but the voice that threads these poems together speaks of escape, affirmation, celebration and remembering. These poems cast an unshakable examination into how the heart finds small ways and words to maintain its steady thump."

"Her smooth and exquisite turns of verse render even the darkest edges of the human experience into something the reader will find relatable even if they’ve never experienced it themselves. Dark is a fantastic poet (I’d also highly recommend seeing her read in person), but she’s an even better storyteller."
