The Anxiety Workbook is a full-length manuscript that explores contemporary anxiety, grief in its multitude of forms, and complicated familial dynamics via the lens of science and history while utilizing the language of therapy. These poems grapple with the ever-evolving collective and individual trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as seek answers and lessons from the natural world. The termination of a pregnancy, a distant father, the untimely death of a friend, our society's obsession with Dateline and missing white girls, the estivation of the West African lungfish - The Anxiety Workbook covers these topics and much more in poems ranging from the hyper-narrative to the highly lyrical, rich in voice and description.

(Poetry) A woman leaps from the Empire State Building but falls only a single floor before she is blown back inside. So begins Christina Olson's second collection of poetry, a rollicking, richly imagined mosaic that pits science, history, and fate against one another in an attempt to answer the bedeviling questions of cause and effect. TERMINAL HUMAN VELOCITY is a steady-voiced, multi-faced narrative of the human condition, mythic yet modern—keenly inquisitive, never complacent, and ceaselessly compelling.

Poetry. "BEFORE I CAME HOME NAKED is a marvelous x-ray of Midwestern oddities and delights with the wonder and vulnerability that comes from examining the family tree—limb from crackly limb. In her debut, Olson expertly sweeps the reader into the depths of heartbreak and humor from the very first poem. These pages burst with rewards: ample evidence of a naturalist's love of the outdoors, a sagacious blend of compassion and mirth, and the best drinking companion you'd ever imagine. This is a poetry that bears brave witness to that place in a 'ruby heart' where the internal and external landscape crash and clatter into the loveliest of songs"—Aimee Nezhukumatathil.
