Chaotic Good by Isabelle Baafi
Poetry Book Society Recommendation Summer 2025
PRE-ORDER
Published 10th April 2025. Available for pre-order.
A piercing debut about how we are made, how we get lost and how we find new selves. Framed by the story of escape from a toxic marriage, Chaotic Good focuses on the incremental ways in which power accumulates, shifts and is relinquished within both home and community. Incisive, rigorous and artful, Isabelle Baafi reminds us of the importance of self-determination, and how, when we feel most eroded, we might discover what we need deep within ourselves: "This time and every time, I was the code I needed to find my way back.'
