mods: We fell into weather poems Mattraw, Alexandra creator author. text Poetry. nyu 2020 2020 monographic eng print 80 pages ; 23 cm "At heart conceptual and formally experimental, Alexandra Mattraw's We fell into weather creates visual and sonic textures that link toxicity--environmental, historical, domestic--with neurodivergence and disease. These poems are alive with musicality and internal rhyme, "the way hay rips scars into wrists the way granite / fields bloom back bruises," while offering glimpses into the stuff of everyday life--the toddler's cough, the broken lamp taped back together. In Mattraw's spare and elegant lines, an image will crystallize briefly as a family drives away from California wildfires, but then disperse like vapor, like "ash . . . Rend[s] the visibility of air." Attuned to the sublime in nature and in language, this is a poet who invites our close and sustained attention, who invites us to improve ourselves. --Mary-Kim Arnold"--Publisher's website. by Alexandra Mattraw.
