Synopsis
"You won't want to stop reading this other-worldly good book."—Dara Wier
11 is 2 bodies and these 2 bodies
want to crash into each other,
but there is no ambulance.
It is a nook of totem poles
on a stubby road and also
2 modest giraffes peering
at something unruly in the grass.

Reviews
In her debut poetry collection following a chapbook, Chabrier has crafted a dreamlike realm of wool socks and balloons, peaches and machines, blizzards and the sea. In language both sensuous and spare, Chabrier reveals the striking charms of a world uniquely her own. Here love is as whimsical as that game / where I write on your leg with my finger; September drones like a walrus . . . tossing in his sleep; and falling pianos seem to be floating and full of glitter. Her writing attests to the unmagnificent splendor in impossibility. Whether she’s shoveling snow in a bath towel or feeling young and old / at the same time, Chabrier unites the witty and the nonsensical, the austere and the enchanting, the mischievous and the tender. As she so deftly states in Gerard: I am the white heat, / not of earth, but shiny / like a sequin. White-hot and otherworldly, Chabrier is a force to be reckoned with. --Briana Shemroske
