<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This debut chapbook, which explores loss, grief, addiction, and recovery, was a semi-finalist for the New Women's Voices Chapbook Competition and contains a poem selected for inclusion in Best New Poets 2018.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"It can help to imagine anguish / as a small creature pawing at your hem, / wanting your attention," <strong>Chelsea Bunn</strong> writes in this moving, unflinching collection. As she attends "the catacombs of worry" where the mind responds to what the body suffers, reprieve is hard won, provisional. Bunn's poems investigate the ways in which redemption comes through acts of language. How attentively she listens into experience in order to transform what she hears into poetry.</p><p><strong>-Donna Masini</strong>, <em>4:30 Movie </em></p><p> </p><p>The poems in <strong>Chelsea Bunn</strong>'s <em>Forgiveness</em> reckon with how the spirit of a woman survives and thrives in the midst of and in spite of love and loss. In one poem, for instance, the speaker says, "My body knows / what to do to stay alive," and each of these poems seem to go about the business of proving as much.</p><p><strong>-Jericho Brown</strong>, <em>The New Testament, Please</em></p><p> </p><p>"This is the year of awakening" begins <strong>Chelsea Bunn</strong>'s stunning chapbook, <em>Forgiveness. </em>Tender in rage, flamboyant in mercy, these poems break the heart and put it back together again. We are fortunate to have this marvelous young poet among us.</p><p><strong>-Jan Heller Levi</strong>, <em>Orphan, Skyspeak</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Chelsea Bunn</strong>'s book<em> Forgiveness</em> begs to be read over and over. These are poems that grieve and yell and fight and live and, most importantly, reveal. Bunn's poems show us the depths of human compassion and failure in language that sizzles and soothes. Reader, the openness of these poems is an invitation into our own heads, into our own numerous wounds and joys so that we may save ourselves "from returning/ to the dark rooms of [our] suffering."</p><br>
