'If we open our eyes the floods won't end so let's not do that' is the new poetry collection from Mat Jarai. Featuring a range of free-verse styles, his poems explore identity, existential meaning, love, death, and the absurd. An intriguing blend of the whimsically amusing and darkly affecting, these poems take us on a journey from the seemingly meaningless towards that search for a sense of self in the chaotic and often confusing world. His words are sparse yet lyrical, metaphorically exploring the human psyche and the every-day mundane through animals, monsters, mountains, oceans and outer space. These poems take us to the fringes of reality, conveyed in an often dream-like, illusory state, yet they always bring us back to those raw human emotions that we all face as we navigate our 21st century world.
