$ 15.00


Winner of the 2020 APR/Honickman First Book Prize

Selected and with an Introduction by Li-Young Lee 

"In Great Exodus, Great Wall, Great Party, Chessy Normile's miraculously disarming speaker is my tenderest, strangest, bravest, most vulnerable and most interesting friend. Like my days, and maybe yours, her days are full of things happening that are remarkable and mundane, scarring and healing, often funny, sometimes hilarious, frequently sad, occasionally tragic. My mind has never moved quite so marvelously as when guided by the gentle fearlessness of Chessy's poems." -- Lisa Olstein, author of Pain Studies and Late Empire
