About the Book:

From debut poet and author Avery Kilpatrick, Hurricane Vignette tells the story of a difficult time in her life—a time of struggle, depression, suicide, recovery, and triumph. This poetry collection is a personal diary of Kilpatrick’s most inner thoughts and her journey of healing.

These poems are filled with raw emotion and contain sensitive subjects such as suicide, depression, and anxiety. However, like most stories, there is a happy ending—a moment of clarity that evokes peace and victory over the chaos of life.

An Artist’s Cage

 Sculptors

     and painters—bringers

       of life and molds.

    Fingers feather over

   their lines and angles,

providing guiding hands

for Da Vinci or Shakespeare,

Aetion or Nikosthenes—

the Muses helped bring their

inspirations to life. A cage of color

and stone inescapable—unbreakable—

placed in a gallery for all to see.

A pillar that others should strive to achieve the

        perfection of the woman:

traditional chocolate hair with

        a lean, willowed figure,

cherry lips, painted face, shining eyes, and smiles.

The pinnacle of a natural standard of beauty—

        pretty, nice, braindead, submissive,

who relies on the Father,

       their Creator—or the Husband.

All independence erased by

       white paint or another block of clay. 

And the Muses, beautiful

       women who guided men,

 developed the cage, building a masterful

piece of iron, entrapping their fellow sisters.

About the Author:

Avery Kilpatrick was born in Flowood, Mississippi, in April 1996. Raised in a small town in the Mississippi Delta, she has a fondness for nature and the cotton fields that create Southern snow pastures in the fall. After writing her first novel when she was thirteen, Avery decided to pursue her dream as an author at a young age.

An alumnus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, Avery graduated with a Bachelor’s in English. She also worked on the student-run newspaper, The Delta Statement, during her four-year career at Delta State as copy-editor and Editor-in-Chief.

Avery currently lives in a ranch-style home in her hometown in Greenwood, Mississippi. The mother of three fur babies, Cinnamon the spoiled cat, Ginger the rambunctious old lady, and Remington a.k.a. Remi the service dog, Avery has enough fur from shedding animals to make a fourth pet. When Avery isn’t busy writing her next novel, she goes on walks with her mother and dogs, watches Outlander or Criminal Minds on Netflix, or can be found curled up on the couch with Cinnamon reading a good book.
