"Chrysalis" tells a story from the perspective of a young woman during a particularly difficult period of her young adulthood. Despite the ghosts of her past and day-to-day sorrows great and small, the speaker perseveres through her stubborn optimism and steadfast path of light. She realizes that as long as she makes a promise to herself, others, and God to spread positive action through her story that she can tell it with dignity and an unblemished heart. Self-published by up-and-coming poetess Caitlin Duffy and written in refreshing millennial free verse, "Chrysalis" is both traditional and revolutionary. It serves a broader purpose as a modern-day Christian devotion while retaining the intimate style of a poetic memoir. Its timeless and universal messages of love, loss, pain, and faith invite the reader to participate in her or his own personal #chrysalisrevolution.
