A Chronology of Blood: Poems


Overview

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 theraby. 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.

Reviews

""In a chronology of blood, Teo Shannon offers an unflinching exploration of the body, survival, and the ways we face hurt. These poems confront the fear of abusers, the anger of guns, and the haunted childhoods that we strive to overcome. Its tender attentiveness guides us through pain, memory, anger, and the determination to bravely uncover a path toward healing.""--Juan J. Morales, author of Dream of the Bird Tattoo
