CHAPBOOKS
Lost and Found in Ocean County, New Jersey
​
Lost and Found in Ocean County, New Jersey won the Tolsun Books chapbook contest in 2020. Three short essays and one longer piece -- the prize-winning "A Map in Five Parts" -- investigate themes of intimacy, witness and what it means to be lost and found. Kimi Eisele, author of The Lightest Object in the Universe, wrote "Donna Steiner's [chapbook] is a tiny atlas of exquisite sentences. Traversing childhood memory, she leads us into special places -- the laundry room, church, a grandmother's bedroom -- and shows us where quiet intimacy and sweet irreverence reside."
