“Part memoir, part confessional, part meditation on mental illness and abuse, Kate Leboff‘s debut book of poetry takes us on a thoughtful journey of despair and resilience—ultimately showing us the beautiful things we can make with the most broken pieces of ourselves. Through lyric, rhythmic wordplay, and raw, honest language, Leboff lays bare both her deepest fears and her greatest hopes, painting a tender portrait of a courageous young artist learning to thrive.”

–Jennifer Savran Kelly, author of Endpapers

 

“Kintsugi howls at the sky and rattles the stars. Kate Leboff‘s debut collection embraces the traumas of addiction, suicide, and abuse with stunning power. Her unflinching voice stitches up her wounds one thread at a time and chills the hairs on the back of our necks. Fearless, direct, and coldly ironic—these poems rise from a warrior’s soul into the light, into the uneven grace of living.”

–Dean Smith, author of Baltimore Sons

 

“With this gripping collection of poems, Kate Leboff blows the casing off mental illness and scatters shot through the reader, even while enveloping them in lush language and finally, hope.”

–Andrea Romeo-Hall, author of Love Poem for Terrorists

Kintsugi is a collection of poems written from the heart and soul of someone and for anyone who has experienced trauma. This collection is for all of us. The poems are partly a memoir of a young woman’s journey but also encompass universal truths and experiences of joy and heartache. Furthermore, this collection revolves around the Japanese art of Kintsugi–the practice of mending broken pottery with gold, silver, or platinum lacquer to create a unique piece of art highlighting its ‘imperfections’ in a way that is beautiful. Kintsugi is a meditation on the practice of taking the broken pieces of ourselves, embracing our imperfections, and creating a more expansive and resilient version of ourselves. We should not attempt to hide our scars but endeavor to emphasize these ‘flaws’ to show how we have used the salves of learning, growing, and healing to create a masterpiece.

Kate Leboff has her BA in English/Creative Writing and a Masters in Professional Studies in Publishing. She currently resides in upstate NY with her two adopted pitties. She works in the editorial/production department at a university press full-time and freelance edits other authors’ novels. This is her first publication, and she is working on a follow-up collection of poems, a crime/thriller novel, a YA fantasy novel, and a book that is equal parts self-help and humorous self-deprecation.
