This debut collection of short stories from Julie Chappell takes us to old family farmsteads, ancient Celtic ruins and long-forgotten hidden holy places. Family secrets, buried relics, feral hogs and more make for an atmospheric read. Settle in and be swept away.

As I Pirouette Away, the third collection of poetry by Julie Chappell, is a sublime meditation on nature and memory, and a complex commentary on our relationships to both. This is a superb book of contemporary poetry from a superb writer.

In Mad Habits of a Life, Julie Chappell shows the power of poetry to tell a story, deconstruct cultural notions, and leave readers in awe. These poems chronicle the life of a woman who has experienced much as a child growing up in Kansas, a rebellious adolescent in the 1960's, a literature professor pondering life and its great mysteries, a cancer survivor, and always, as a woman wholly in love with life and all its madness. Sometimes reveling in nature's terrible beauty, sometimes reminiscing about the past with a mixture of nostalgia and stark realism, Chappell unflinchingly aims for the truth. These accessible, crafted, and curious poems will appeal to readers who have struggled, loved, lost, and triumphed.

Julie Chappell's second collection of short stories celebrates the odd, mysterious, mundane and joyous ways which connect us all, no matter how fragile or secret the ties may be. Wandering rom a hometown bakery to a haunted English countryside, these tales are surprising, atmospheric and unique.
