Elysia Lucinda Smith

Elysia Lucinda Smith is a poet whose debut book, UNRULY, was published by BlazeVOX [books]. The book collects rude-girl poems about sex, family, and growing up in the Bible Belt. Reviewers have praised its humor and its frank treatment of rage and loss. Joyce Peseroff's review places UNRULY in a line of recent poetry by women about harm and betrayal. The Indianapolis Review also ran her poem 'People I Have Slept With.'
