Intention Tremor: A Hybrid Collection

Description

"Intention Tremor is ultimately a book about compassion. Sellman shows us the unseen: the interior experience of living with a stealth disease. I'm grateful for this book for expanded my understanding of a condition I thought I understood."

-Michele Bombardier, author, What We Do

"Lyrical and inventive, this book is a sum of all those parts that make the human spirit hard as nails as well as achingly vulnerable. Intention Tremor invites readers into multiple worlds-be it a diner, a doctor's office, or the uncomfortable confines of an airplane aisle-each recreated with vivid imagery and authenticity. Sellman writes about illness and healing with a poet's gaze, a dancer's agility, and a scientist's rigor. The world needs this book."

-Sayantani Dasgupta, author, Fire Girl: Essays on India, America, & the In-Between

"Intention Tremor approaches the MS odyssey with wit, grace, and an inquiring mind that is refreshingly quirky at times."

-Jennifer Culkin, author, A Final Arc of Sky

"Sellman's intelligence and experience as a prose writer comes through in this hybrid manuscript: poems that bristle with scientific accuracy, prose pieces that border on dreamy intensity and longing."

-Jeannine Hall Gailey, author, Field Guide to the End of the World
