“ If any memoir has a pulse running through it, if any work of art contains within it the potential of transcendence, it is in your hands . I Wore the Ocean in the Shape of a Girl begins in a kind of glorious, terrible, ridiculous chaos, but then as we get closer and closer to its heartbreaking center and to the narrator herself, the “heavy things” start falling off – of her, of us – a heaviness we didn’t know we’d even been carrying. Kelle Groom has somehow found a container for each bright, hard spark of this life.” —Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City

The language of this brooding and obsessive memoir is exquisitely compressed, yet beneath the taut imagery and diction are palpable, powerful surges of emotions. A visceral, darkly lyrical narrative that reads with the immediacy and rawness of an open wound. <p> -- Kirkus Reviews
