Unmuted, by David Andrew Tittle

“So I will take the knife
To me—excise these doubts
These insecurities
And without you
But truly me—
Be well
And truly
Proud of me.”

The collection of poetry, Unmuted, by David Andrew Tittle, thrusts us through an array of feelings in finding our raw selves, as we experience the rise and fall of discovery in poems such as “Tribulation,” “Identity,” and “I.C.E.” Though not without its tender moments, action and inaction are reflected within the collection at a time in which both have their repercussions.  Unmuted invites us to listen, feel, and come to terms with forthright truths.
