Join us for the Raw Paw reading series, which celebrates the release of a new issue of their poetry imprint, Mind Maze.

This month’s title is Birds and Flowers by John Herndon. The title refers to a genre of Chinese paintings which actually includes fish and insects and is closely associated with Buddhism. In the current atmosphere, holding a mirror up to nature is a subversive act. With readings from John Herndon, Charles Darnell, and Ejede Okogbo, and hosted by Wade Martin and A.R Rogers.

Raw Paw was founded in Austin, Texas, in 2010. Their new poetry title, Mind Maze, is released every month and showcases twenty poems by one of Austin’s best—all wrapped in a patterned, screen-printed cover designed by Nicole Carleton.
