I Saw Myself Alive in a Coffin begins with a wish for death and ends with a hope for a life fully lived.In this collection of poetic musings on life and death, Quinn explores her personal relationship with death, or sometimes lack of: death as something that happens daily, death as a feeling, death as fascination, death as intangible, death as wish, death as an inevitability.\nQuinn's relationship with death mutates with the ebb and flow of her depression and rises to a peak as suicidal ideation. Here, she imagines confronting her own death and what it would be like to walk away with a second chance; to really live the single gift of life she's been given. Thus comes a respect for both life and death—one cannot exist without the other; one cannot truly live without accepting the inevitable.

Kait Quinn's third poetry collection, Clear, features poems written during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. From the seemingly bright beginnings of a short winter and a promising year to navigating isolation and social distancing to loss and grief, both as a result of the coronavirus and George Floyd's death and resulting unrest, Clear's poems reflect on life during an unprecedented time in our history.Clear does not end without remembering what 2020 taught us - about ourselves, about each other, about the skeletons our society is built on. Quinn takes us all the way through early 2021 and the hope that glimmers on the horizon as the COVID vaccine is distributed and we approach, finally, a clearing in a suffocating, virus-ridden wood.

Clear: A Poetry Collection

Inspired by and mostly written while listening to Taylor Swift's album folkore, Poems of August is a collection flooded with nostalgia, scarred with the memory of first love and heartache, and a journey of personal growth, both as an individual and one-half of a relationship. The poems tell a story of an unwanted romantic poet longing to be noticed only to lose herself in a toxic, emotionally abusive relationship. It is a story of heartbreak but also of finding oneself after piecing the broken pieces back together, remembering who one was before breaking, and choosing healthier relationships. This is a story of how nostalgia can go from an aching scar to a warm glow golden as August.
