The cover of Chaos by Poet Charity Whan appears, a collaged piece centering the poet strangling a guitar with an eye watching

CHAOS

Chaos is a poetic memoir that explores infidelity, emotional reckoning, longing, divorce, and rediscovered identity through the lens of someone who knows both the wild freedom of escape and the heavy silence that follows. Told in poems, prose, and original photography, Chaos traces the journey of a woman who stopped performing peace and started chasing truth — no matter the outcome.

In the tradition of confessional poets like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, Charity writes with guts, grace, and grit, holding nothing back. Chaos doesn’t seek neat resolutions. It’s more like a dive bar hymn or a steel guitar sob — raw, twangy, and beautifully broken.

The Cover of In Search of the Music Man by Poet Charity Whan appears, black and white text with thin line guitar images.

IN SEARCH OF THE MUSIC MAN

In In Search of the Music Man, Charity charts a life in poems, tracing the path from childhood to womanhood through love, loss, and restless searching.

​

Written between ages twelve and thirty-seven, this chapbook reads like a poetic journey in three parts—child, girl, woman—capturing the raw edges of growing up without clear definitions of love or belonging. 

 

These poems explore fractured families, mental health, heartbreak, and the quiet persistence of hope. At its center is the search for the Music Man — the person (or idea) who might finally help tune the noise into meaning.
