June Kelly

I write because I am angry at the world. I write because I am overwhelmed by the beauty in it. I write when I am shocked to hear my own voice. I write because it speaks for versions of me that don’t exist anymore. I write to please. I write to instigate. I write to record, to collect, and to remember. I write to grow and to inspire.

I’m June Kelly, a creative nonfiction writer captivated by the emotional truth that emerges from the mundane. I write from lived experience, but I am equally interested in how memory can reshape truth. My work blurs the boundary between observation and reflection, seeking meaning in what is felt rather than what we can easily explain.
