Synopsis

"Intense and infused with a deep sense of fellow-feeling, these poems reflect the lived experience of someone who has done some rough traveling with the wounded. Her words deliver to us a fighter, a guardian, a healer, a passionate lover of life. Joy Harjo said, 'Maybe if we re-invent whatever our lives give us, we find poems.' Lindsay-Rose Dunstan transforms the rough magic of this world into the flame of honest poetry, and we would do well to sit near her fire."

-Rhonda Palmer, author of Confido: Poems & Essays on Death for Those of Us

Who Haven't Gotten There Yet

"In the poems of Can You Still Feel the Butterflies?, Lindsay-Rose Dunstan and her ancestors mix it up with Weird Al, Angela Davis, Carl Sagan, and David Lee Roth. At turns meditative, playful, and urgently calling for action, this collection ranges from one-hit wonders to history to the most urgent topics of our time: mental health, Black Lives Matter, ongoing genocide in Palestine, LGBTQ+ rights, and so much more."

-Kelsey Ronan, author of Chevy in the Hole

"Can You Still Feel the Butterflies? by Lindsay-Rose Dunstan is a readily-digestible, poignant, witty, and funny collection of poems that reflect on the self, the world, and the act of witnessing each other through it all. From letters to Dr. Viktor Frankl to imaginative dreamscapes of a free Palestine, to little pocket sized bites of science, their work pulls you in like a dream each step of the way. From one provider poet to another, thank you Lindsay-Rose, for the whimsy, the wit, and the witnessing."

-Dr. Kayden Vargas, PhD, author of [Dead Name] with Kith Books
