Cover image of Invisible Violets: A Mixtape in Lyric Essays by Chrys Buckley. Words are green against a textured background of different shades of purple. Near the top of the cover, there is an author blurb that reads, "A fierce manifesto about claiming your own story. This book will change you and linger long after the final page." This blurb was written by Tarn Wilson, author of In Praise of Inadequate Gifts.

This collection of personal lyric essays took eons to write, and eons to edit. It went through so many iterations, and I plan to talk through and demystify the steps of the process on here in time.

For now, just know that I’m so proud of this book and each essay within. There is darkness in these essay-songs, but writing was always a joy. Even when it made me cry, which was almost always, because I’m a sap. I can’t wait for you to read this collection, and now you can, because the print book comes out today!

I also have an email newsletter that you can sign up for here for all the authorly updates. Find out about live events, ebook and audiobook version releases, book recommendations, publishing stories, and more!

Trust me when I say, I’m cooking up some ideas and plans you won’t want to miss!
