In her debut essay collection, Chelsey Clammer dives flesh-first into finding her home. But these essays aren't about places, but a state of mind-when you're at home in your body, you're at home in the world. With both lyricism and wit, Clammer uses her body to explore a complicated history of assault, addictions, mental illnesses and sexuality. Ranging from hilarious to chilling, the powerful prose inBodyHome drives our bodies back home. Praise for BodyHome “Clammer's raw voice and her rich use of language give her stories a rare authenticity and authority, demanding that the reader follow her in a bold, brash exploration of the nonfiction form. Her work is playful, furious, passionate, electric, and truly brave." – Marya Hornbacher, author of bestselling memoirs Wasted and Madness “[BodyHome is] language rich with honesty, shining with compassion and present to the chaos of addiction, rage, and grief.” – Lia Purpura, author of On Looking and Rough Likeness
