We Fell Into Weather

By Alexandra Mattraw

Poetry. "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 Arnol
