About Boxed Juice
Boxed Juice is a rare and original work that makes clear why Danielle Chapman is so vital to contemporary poetry. Spontaneous and indelible, enchanting and disillusioned, extravagant and direct, these poems reveal what Chapman sees from within our roles that our culture often renders invisible or ridiculous—mother, caregiver, Christian mystic, literary wife. Boxed Juice distills Chapman’s craft into a miracle of resilience. Danielle Chapman’s poems are those of a spirit in whom the experience is saved by the music that it yields.
