Moving between a remote canyon in New Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, New York City, the virtual world, the past, and the unstable future, the author asks, \"Whose afterimage am I?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The sprawling, celebratory, mourning chorus of this book is the sum of many voices; the words of other writers, poets, and artists are interwoven with the author's words. This is a celebration of language's capacity to supersede bodily limits, mortality, and existential loneliness. Daniela Naomi Molnar's chorus encompasses violence, love, empathy, fear, a burning planet, a pandemic, heartbreak, desire, joy, and grief. Rather than seeking resolution, these poems look through the lens of a fragmented self, dwelling in plurality, discord, and harmony. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCHORUS\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of Omnidawn's 1st \/2nd Book Prize, judged by Kazim Ali. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniela Naomi Molnar \u003c\/b\u003eis a wilderness guide, educator, and artist working with writing, painting, and site-specific intervention.
