Subsisting on near-constant sunlight for most of her life, Rochelle Germond chronicles the displacement that follows a move "hundreds of miles and three states to the northeast" in her debut chapbook, Confession of a Heliophiliac. Part ode to sunlight, part elegy for home, the poems in this collection grapple with loss, womanhood, religion, and longing--for people, the past, places where we belong.
This book was a finalist in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards in 2024, and for the Jonathan Holden Poetry Chapbook Contest in 2024.
