Better to Travel: Selected Poems
(2003)
Collin Kelley’s debut, Better To Travel,
is a haunting cycle of poetry dispatched from the teeming streets of
London and New York to the decadence of Paris and New Orleans. From
these far-flung outposts, Kelley deftly and unblinkingly conveys the end
of a relationship and the need to escape to “sights unseen.” Readers
have compared Kelley’s poetry to the emotional work of Anne Sexton and
Sharon Olds. This is confessional poetry in its truest form: raw,
uninhibited and unflinching.
