Good Girl and Other Yearnings

Launching April 18, 2025!

From "Quantum Mechanics And You" to "Little Red Riding Hood Buys A 6-Pack After EMDR," these poems turn the confessional genre on its head. Correa's debut full-length collection explores how trauma shakes the foundations of identity, and how healing happens on every level: atomic, corporeal, corporate, and cosmic. Raw and lyrical, personal and expansive, these poems are an evocative reclamation of self, a bold bet on existential hope when existential dread is throwing punches.

  • Good Girl and Other Yearnings looks to the past, to girlhood and family, through the slant mirror of poetry. The speaker never pretends to be wise; she understands life through a series of visions, symbols, and memories seen from a million angles.

    — Dion O'Reilly, author of Sadness of the Apex Predator

  • I saw pieces of myself in her lines, which felt minutely personal yet universally reaching towards something larger. A stunning book that made me feel more awake as a writer and a woman.

    — Caroline Earleywine, author of I Now Pronounce You

  • Isabelle Correa sings an anthem for a generation’s bewilderments and traumas. With wry humor and an unflinching gaze at emotional and existential truths, Correa’s poems demonstrate a startling sense of metaphor that cuts to the bone.

    — Bruce Beasley, author of Prayershreds, All Soul Parts Returned, and other books
