Chapbook
Imprecise Perishing, winner of Finishing Line Press first chapbook prize

In Imprecise Perishing, Alexandra Barylski explores the renegotiations of identity, relationships, and faith that arise when the body is in a state of dis-ease. Moving in and out of various formal arrangements that mirror the shape-shifting illness requires of the ill, she turns the situation of chronic illness over in her hands, letting the light catch it from various angles. With tumbling sounds, and startling language and imagery, these poems lead us into, and guide us through, what eventually we all must face: the vulnerability and mystery of “our unsolvable bodies.” 
     –Molly Spencer, Rumpus poetry editor and author of If The House
