"The Art of Leaving",2016


The Art of Leaving is an exploration of the apticipation of goodbye. The 65 page chapbook includes 40+ poems written by me and my sister, Taylor Chick, in the nine months before we left our home in the suburbs of Chicago, June of 2015.


Let this book be an ode
An ode to the house that was overwhelmingly a home
Heartbreak that didn't care to be healed
Only heard
To the achy resilliant us
To them
& this bright
Bold
Undertone
