Orange Poems

Author: Chelsea Tadeyeske

Publisher: Pitymilk Press (2024)

Chelsea Tadeyeske's Orange Poems is a collection of tiny fireworks in muted bursts under glass, an organized pile of discarded corners. Written following an
overwhelming flood of loss, Orange Poems pays homage to autumnal leaves as they head to slaughter-a chromatic gasp of color before inevitable decay.
Tadeyeske's observations lead us through a maze of overstuffed trashcans as an analog for grief. "how does a mind 'wander'/ how does a bone' bend'?" Let
these poems answer your impossible questions while inhaling your heart.
