Description


Rustlings of the Spirit, a refreshing addition to contemporary poetry, is divided into four chapters; “Loss”, “Rightful Rage”, “Reconnection”, and “Love” wherein the author explores her journey towards radical acceptance through grief. In her debut poetry chapbook, Chloe Gentile-Montgomery takes readers through a range of emotions in each chapter, allowing them to feel deeply, with an emphasis on self-love and radical acceptance of one’s progress. Rustlings of the Spirit reminds readers that they are not alone in their suffering and that healing is not as picture-perfect as it’s sometimes made out to be. Chloe Gentile-Montgomery bravely pours her experiences onto the page in this accessible chapbook. Rustlings of the Spirit follows the non-linear aspect of the healing process and delves into reconnection with the self and ancestors. Poet Chloe Gentile-Montgomery expresses deeply vulnerable aspects of herself with her powerful imagery and moving words.
