I, Divided by Chelsea Dingman
In poems that use the science behind chaos theory as a lens for examining illness and agency, Chelsea Dingman explores the divide between determination and accident, whereby the body becomes a site of exploration as well as elegy in cases of disease such as traumatic brain injury, cancer, and addiction.
Dingman's poems are experiments in tenderness and vulnerability wrought by the toughened tissues of hard-won scars" - John A. Nieves
"By turns gritty, tender, and philosophical, these poems tackle big questions about the nature of the self alongside the intimacies of family life. It's harrowing, but there's grace and holiness here, too." - Nancy Reddy
