In the Stillness of Chaos

In the Stillness of Chaos is a poetic archive of survival memory and becoming-written from the margins of neurotypical cisnormative ableist expectation. With vivid tenderness and precise defiance Jaime Hoerricks-a trans autistic gestalt-processing writer and educator-offers a collection shaped not by resolution but by recursion: a rhythm of spirals stimming silence and sacred return.Across its pages you'll find poems that map the terrain of identity not as a fixed point but as a living shifting landscape. Meltdowns become thresholds. Shutdowns become sacred retreats. Trans embodiment becomes not a deviation but an ancient embodied grammar. Through metaphor memory and myth these poems speak in the language of pebbles left for others to find-kinship offered in fragments wholeness found in the act of witnessing.Drawing on themes of sensory overwhelm ancestral reclamation systemic erasure and autistic pattern recognition this collection resists the linear the clinical and the commodified. Instead it carves space for what cannot be measured: the quiet defiance of surviving beautifully the poetics of feeling too much and the courage of naming oneself on one's own terms.Whether you are neurodivergent queer trans or simply seeking language for the unspeakable In the Stillness of Chaos is not an instruction manual or a recovery narrative-it is a cairn. A resting place. A companion for those who've had to write themselves into being because the world refused to do it for them.This is not poetry that asks to be decoded. It asks to be felt. To be honoured. To be remembered.
