Description
“The poems in Alex Mattraw’s third full-length collection RAW ANYONE offer the reader a deep poetic examination of the social and environmental toxins that affect our lives during these pandemic times. Cells, mouths, and rooms hold spaces for questions and declarations. In “A Room, after Virginia Woolf,” the author implores, ‘Knock the head-room. / I ask you to live.’ This compelling poetry collection burns with detoxifying intelligence and heart.” —Maw Shein Win, author of Storage Unit for the Spirit House
