A finalist for the National Book Award, Kim Addonizio has also received a Guggenheim Fellowship, two NEA Fellowships, and a Pushcart Prize. She divides her time between living in Oakland, California, and New York City.
"A brash, irreverent look at the physical and emotional refuse
produced in our self-absorbed culture." -- Washington Post
"Only Kim Addonizio could mix Greek myths with psychopharmacology,
Dante with a pinging iPhone, heartbreak with plastic pollution, and
create a rare cocktail of wit and desire. Mortal Trash
offers unparalleled discoveries . . . with humor and grace, soaring
from comedy to elegy and back. . . . Stunning." -- San Francisco
Chronicle
"A set like Mortal Trash, so rare and paradoxical in its
despairing frivolity, reasserts the art's power to create order,
and to instill meaning." -- Los Angeles Review of Books
"Addonizio shows how our culture and surroundings will test us
again and again." -- Lambda Literary
"Comic, elegiac, and ironic meditations. " -- Brooklyn Magazine
