Milktooth unfolds as a poetic landscape, scorched and tender, where language carries what memory can’t bear alone. Caitlin’s poems offer a cinematic scope, deeply intimate in focus; each one a snapshot cracked open, threaded with wildfire and floodwater, shaped by science, sorrow, and the ache of what nearly slips away. Her work is lush with natural imagery, rooted in place yet always chasing what lies just beyond the frame. These poems are the kind you keep wanting to return to—not just to witness, but to know more.

–Amy Laessle-Morgan

“Milktooth is a phenomenal read. It’s easily digestible in that it can easily be read in one sitting (and trust me, you won’t want to put it down!). The poems flow into each other seamlessly and the imagery evokes just the right amount of emotion. The author doesn’t lean on metaphors; rather she states things as they are and challenges the reader to keep up. The imagery jumps out of each piece effortlessly, whether tangible (i.e. nature references) or intangible (i.e. heartbreak). If you call yourself a poetry lover, you need a copy of Milktooth on your bookshelf.”

–Nicholas Olah, author of Seasons and You Are Here

In her debut chapbook, Milktooth, Caitlin Dunn traverses fire-scorched Colorado mountainsides, salt-crusted lakebeds, and the many phases of coming-of-age. Milktooth examines how we make sense of the past: through the body, the volatility of nature, and what we leave behind. Unfolding in three parts—Prescribed Burns, Erosions, and Ephemerals—this collection mirrors the undoing and remaking of both earth and self. #Chapbook #DebutBook #PoetryCollection #PoetryCommunity #NaturePoetry
