Hush, Don't Tell Nobody

In Hush, Don't Tell Nobody Kyle Doty weaves a story about tragedy and forgiveness. Part poetic memoir, part present-day ruminations, this daring collection explores the complexity of human relationships, child abuse, and the Divine. "As with abstract impressionist painting, the apparent simplicity of the poems in Hush, Don't Tell Nobody belie a profound complexity and deep and satisfying richness. This is a major debut, and Kyle Doty is a poet to watch." - Charles Blackstone, managing editor of Bookslut and author of Vintage Attraction and The Week You Weren't Here Kyle Doty is a Middle School English teacher. He lives in Southwest Florida-Tropicalia-with his family, where he is at work on his next collection of poetry.
