Then Winter

Chloe Honum

This collection vividly traces the speaker's journey in a psychiatric treatment facility. With precision and honesty, Honum cuts through the climate of silence surrounding mental illness and treatment. These fiercely intimate poems draw the reader into the boundaried world of a psychiatric ward, where moments of darkness exist alongside moments of humor and deep connection, and renders the natural world beyond the facility's windows with piercing mystery and beauty.
