Kelle Groom

In her memoir, I Wore the Ocean In the Shape of A Girl (Free Press, $23.00), Kelle Groom writes with astonishing and unforgettable lyrical power about her young life as an addict — and how, at 19, she became pregnant with the son that she would end up losing twice — first to adoption, and then, only a year later, to cancer.  Groom is the author of three poetry collections.
