"Rainbow Body" is an enthralling collection of poetry that tells the story of self-discovery through sex, drugs, and sugar on Miami Beach. The poems explore the idea that God is everywhere, even (and maybe especially) in the vices we are taught to avoid.

Neysa King's poetry weaves together sunning language and imagery, set in the backdrop of the sexual energy and neon lights of Miami Beach. The twelve poems in this collection offer an honest and awe-inspiring glimpse into the love, heartbreak, mistakes, doubt, and self-acceptance that make up a life. Beyond that, each poem is skillfully written to show us how to discover divinity in unexpected places. "Rainbow Body" is an absolute joy and a masterpiece of contemporary poetry.

Neysa King’s writing has been featured by o miami, sand berlin literary journal, darling magazine, swwim every day, community of writers and others. she is the author of two poetry chapbooks, rainbow body, which released december 12, 2021, and can be purchased at local miami bookstores and on amazon, and my heart points back, a poetic collaboration with oscar fuentes (“the biscayne poet”) about love and sex in miami.

She is the co-founder of miami poetry club, a weekly meetup for writers to create community and improve their craft. she lives in miami beach. follow @neysaking and @miamipoetryclub.
