RAW THOUGHTS is a compelling and mindful fusion of starkly emotive poetry and black and white film photography. Each successive poem-photo pairing (each 'raw thought') builds on an underlying philosophy that compels us to assess and adjust what and how we think with the aim of improving our lives and by extension, the lives of those around us.National Book Award and Griffin Poetry Prize Nominee (2019). Select poetry from RAW THOUGHTS was nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
