Reviewed by Stephen Page
According to legend, around 1664, when King Charles the II of England first heard a tale of flying fish, he turned and asked a British Royal Marine to vouch for the story.

In Unexpected Light, C.E. Chaffin attempts to articulate in verse bipolar disorder—his version of bipolar disorder through his experiences and his selection of poetry. Chaffin documents numerous episodes of mania and depression in a thick assortment of 119 poems and binds them inside a seemingly non-descript cover.
In “Off Lithium,” Chaffin reveals a maniac period in his life:

She often reflects on how she got to where she is, and in her everyday occurrences she inadvertantly divulges to …
