Raw Mind

For many of us, life feels like an illness before a diagnosis. It can be stained by pain and dysfunction, discarded as ugly and without purpose. Evan McMillan can relate. In his first volume of poetry in the RAW MIND series, McMillan expresses the darkness of life before the diagnosis - and reveals the hope with the prescription. Presenting both prose and directives, Growing Pains explores the painful, untidy paths of the heart while remaining in the firm boundaries of truth. Themes along the journey include: • Awareness • Transition • Struggle • Unintended • Dysfunction • Worth • Growth • The Monster • Mental Work • Overcoming • Love Life • The Blessing and the Curse • Free Me • Resolutions • Love Life • The Blessing and the Curse • Free Me • Resolutions Accept this honest invitation to climb through darkness and discover hope.
