I Write, Therefore I Am: exposed.

by Alexis Mitchell

I Write, Therefore I Exposed is a chapbook that dives into the deeper layers of heartbreak, self-love, and self-worth. If you've read Mitchell's debut poetry collection, I Write, Therefore I Am, she scratches the surface on what these themes meant for her as she shares her coming-of-age story. I Write, Therefore I Exposed is the follow-up that further explores thoughts and feelings triggered by Mitchell's revisiting and reopening of old wounds. When we cut ourselves open, what is it that we find? What do we discover when we allow ourselves to be unapologetically naked? In this collection, readers will experience yet another journey, but this one takes us past the surface; we will seep into skin; we will retrace the shadows of Mitchell's past. I Write, Therefore I Exposed is a mature journey of self-discovery.

I read Alexis' first collection, 'I Write, Therefore I Am' and so naturally I had to read this second collection as well. If you thought the first book was good, this one won't disappoint. The poems in this collection are remarkable. It includes pieces ranging from self-love and body image to toxicity in a relationship. It's truly a wonderful mix of the human condition. I loved reading these poems and resonated deeply with many of them. Overall, it is well worth the read.

An honest inspection of Alexis

This collection of poetry is so true to life it's harrowing. The writing style flows a.d feels as though you are having a conversation with the author. Intentional or not, there are instances where the first word of 2 - 3 lines are repeated, drilling home the !message or different perspectives. Each piece is unique with emotion and I can't wait to explore more layers of the Alexis cake.
