Excerpts from an Abstract Mind by Ewana Hines

Poet Ewana Hines unfurls a mesmerizing collection of bold and fearless verse in Excerpts from an Abstract Mind. Acknowledging the long lineage of strife and sacrifice preceding her, this gathering of poems is a battle-cry and a maternal whisper, told by an inquiring mind dissecting the philosophy of existence and survival. Though some poems are more urgent than others, or reiterative, these less powerful pieces provide the space for a reader to breathe, given the intensity of the work overall. With an organic voice entirely her own, and an eye towards truth-telling, painful as it may be, Hines delivers a raw poetry gem – original and fierce.
