In Enamel, we witness Han Raschka disassemble themselves through poetry, whether it be yanking teeth or pulling ribs. Hair is shed, flesh is burned, and muscle disintegrated, all so Raschka can “rise again\/again\/again.” \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEnamel\u003c\/em\u003e also touches on the exteriority of trauma, how surviving it affects those closest to us. Raschka asks their mother “can you imagine\/a world\/without me?” They reflect on their grandmothers, their partner, loved ones from the past, and even their hairdresser, all in pursuit of determining if “the space I fill\/matters all that much.“ \u003cem\u003eEnamel\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection not just about an individual’s journey with survivorhood, but how surviving trauma is a collective experience. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ext \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHan Raschka (they\/them) is a Pushcart-nominated poet whose work focuses on trauma, recovery, and queer existence.
