a long exposure of undoing

by sarah "sam" saltiel

"a long exposure of undoing" is the first poetry chapbook published by Sarah "Sam" Saltiel. Written like a quiet scream, the poetry weaves a narrative fragmented by dissociation and trauma as the narrator prepares to leave everything that is familiar to her. It is an exploration into intimacy and precarity, and the way that they change through multiplicity.

​

The cover artist is Zoë Blair-Schlagenhauf.

 

Content warning: mentions of assault, dissociation, and mental illness.
