“I LIKE TO JOKE THAT I’M A HEARTBROKEN POET…
WITH A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR.”
-KENZIE ROWLAND, GPB INTERVIEW
Kenzie Rowland is a self-published author of two poetry collections, The Sky Cracked Open and Atlas.
Exploring the depths of mental health, Kenzie shares her struggles, triumphs, and vulnerabilities through her poetry.
Her first book, The Sky Cracked Open, reflects on a year when her mental health reached its lowest point. Throughout this period, Kenzie wrote poems that captured both the pain and the triumph of receiving her OCD diagnosis.
Her sophomore collection, Atlas, was created during the pandemic in 2020. In this book, Kenzie invites readers on a reflective journey, contrasting her life before lockdown with her evolving identity. Atlas is her most vulnerable and raw work to date, and it surpassed the sales of her first book in its first month.
