Charlie Cichoszewski’s debut collection of poems and stories grounds itself in the truth of creative nonfiction and an internal chaos melded in the space between creative perspective and reality. This book captures a transformation in its stretch through perspectives of the self, embodying a growing relationship with fragments of the self in different lights. Charlie’s stories meld from trauma to experiencing the world through the lens of wonder in their re-learning to live with post-traumatic stress.
With characters born to serve as protectors of safety, moments of fear, the heartbreak of lost love and more, Capsule of My Melded World creates a compassion toward living, capturing the confusion and peace of life and rebirth.
