Kendra Allen was interviewed by the Dallas Morning News about her new poetry collection, THE COLLECTION PLATE. When asked what she wants readers to know about the book, Allen replied: “I’m proud of it. Which is hard for me to say. With this collection, I feel like I came to the page honestly, in a way that I probably hadn’t before.” The collection was also listed as one of Refinery29’s “38 Books You’ll Want to Read This Summer.” Ecco will publish the book on July 6, 2021.
