PRESS 254 Handmade Poetry chapbook. 32 pages. Saddle Stitched.

“Evan Nave cuts and pastes potentially joyful and traumatic experiences like it is nothing…He’ll be one tough act to follow.” —Ricardo Cortez Cruz, author of Straight Outta Compton

The poems of Evan Nave’s Thoughts Like: explore the experiences and mental deliberations of a person discovering and coping with the effects of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Blending humor with a meditative stance, Nave creates subtle poems and introspective thought catalogs that will invite readers to examine their own productions of childhood, cognition, and obsession through the fleeting images that comprise our most essential memories. If every line of poetry is a neural pathway, then Nave’s Thoughts Like: establishes a network connecting author with reader through the synaptic interplay of language.
