Descriere & specificații

The Anxiety Workbook is a full-length manuscript that explores contemporary anxiety, grief in its multitude of forms, and complicated familial dynamics via the lens of science and history while utilizing the language of therapy. These poems grapple with the ever-evolving collective and individual trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as seek answers and lessons from the natural world. The termination of a pregnancy, a distant father, the untimely death of a friend, our society's obsession with Dateline and missing white girls, the estivation of the West African lungfish-- The Anxiety Workbook covers these topics and much more in poems ranging from the hyper-narrative to the highly lyrical, rich in voice and description. Christina Olson is the author of Terminal Human Velocity and The Last Mastodon , which won the Rattle 2019 Chapbook Contest.
