Heidi Seaborn started writing poetry in 2016 and has quickly gained national recognition for her fresh voice and the lyrical quality she brings to writing about to life's experiences. With her debut poetry chapbook, Finding My Way Home, Seaborn explores what it means to be lost, to feel loss and to undertake the journey to find the people,history and place that embodies home. With her mastery of verbs, embedding action into her writing, these poems will take you places. In her Pablo Neruda Poetry Prize semi-finalist poem "Family Secrets," Seaborn has us climbing trees, crawling over driftwood and digging to China. We don't just learn how to hold a heart and how to survive hypothermia, we experience heartlessness, the burn of coming back to life. In these poems, we feel the loss of a father and the end of a marriage, the wail of childbirth and death of small creatures. The duality of pain and pleasure, cruelty and humor, beauty and violence are threaded throughout Seaborn's poems. Finding My Way Home is a poetic roadmap for the heart's journey through loss to discover home.

Give a Girl Chaos (see what she can do) is a survival guide for challenging times, written in the language we crave now-poetry. Heidi Seaborn 's stunning debut collection is a lyric guide to harnessing chaos-from a world swirling in terrorism, war, natural disaster to the chaos of heart, home, body and family. Through poems that ache with beauty and violence, Give a Girl Chaos (see what she can do) reveals that by controlling chaos, we can achieve resilience, power and ultimately joy.
