Hush Candy
“Good poems are rarely made by good girls. That’s not talk for polite company, but go ahead, try to deny it, especially when you witness Missy Brownson tear out of the gate with these first poems, each one hell-bent, either sticky with the spittle and grit of childhood or else hot to the touch, spoken by a woman full-grown who—seeing her world undone—stands tall and says, I’m done."
- Nickole Brown
"Hush Candy is a marvelous collection, full of fun, sass, and splendid rebellion."
- Kathleen Driskell
"This is a heartbreaking collection of a Southern woman trying to find her way while navigating the expectations of a 'well behaved' woman. The book succeeds in being, also, hopeful."
- Kelly Moffett
"There are some strong and memorable poems you’ll want to return to often in this wonderful debut.”
- Jeff Worley
