Declined but Devine

This is not your average poetry book. It's a rebellion in verse. In Declined but Divine, Christy Granger gathers around 50 pages of poems that were told "no"—by editors, contests, and gatekeepers—but still pulse with wit, grit, and raw truth. From laugh-out-loud micro poems to tender tributes, from quirky observations to quiet heartbreaks, this collection is a celebration of the overlooked, the under loved, and the unapologetically authentic.
