| Summary: | Teo Shannon's debut collection of poetry casts an unflinching eye on the issues in the author's life which includes themes of sexual abuse, gun violence and conversion therapy. The poems in a chronology of blood embrace trauma survivors, the LGBTQ+ community and lovers of poetry. A stunning debut collection by a gifted poet, a chronology of blood explores major traumas in the author’s life. Autobiographical in nature, the book is broken into three sections that each deal with a trauma the author has endured, and it explores a range of themes including gun violence, conversion therapy, misuse of drugs, addiction and domestic violence. But balancing the anger, harm and pain is hope. Above all Shannon is a survivor, learning to incorporate these experiences into a life filled with healing and lived on his own terms. |
