Title: Sedley
Description: "While many readers may be familiar with stories about rural Saskatchewan from the early 20th century, Chelsea's poetry collection Sedley tells a different story: one of small town Saskatchewan from a "millennial" perspective. While much of small-town living remains the same: farming is always reliant on the weather regardless of new technology, after all; there is a sense of urgency and a need to escape that Chelsea writes about, and her stories of growing up on the prairies include references to cell phones and modern farmers who are more like businessmen. There is a musical cadence and rhythm to the poems themselves, which range from reminiscences on high school and first love, to darker themes like death and suicide that haunt the Sedley residents."--
