- More about The Snakes Came Back
Lora Mathiss' poetry collection, The Snakes Came Back, explores the healing of trauma through mythology, dreams, and the natural world. The body is a temporary resting place for the infinite, resilient soul, and the self is composed of memory and navigating impulses of woundedness with awareness and compassion. The mouth is a space of hunger and desire as well as an erogenous zone of self-expression and agency. Mathiss' poems vibrate with the will to face life's temporality, its impossible contradictions, its beauty, and its pain.

Lora Mathiss's poetry collection, The Snakes Came Back, explores the healing power of mythology, dreams, and the natural world in the aftermath of trauma. Through her poems, Mathiss presents the body as a temporary resting place for the infinite and resilient soul, while also highlighting the importance of interdependence in the healing process. The speaker in the collection navigates their trauma in the slipstream of earthly time, surrounded by friends and lovers who are both named and anonymous. The poems are filled with memories, impulses of woundedness, and the desire to express oneself. The mouth, in particular, is a space of hunger and desire, as well as an erogenous zone of self-expression and agency. Mathiss's poems crack open everyday tasks and familiar landscapes to reveal their haunting depths, saturated with heat and wind. They vibrate with the will to face life's temporality, its impossible contradictions, its beauty, and its pain, stating, "There is loss, but there is renewal too."
