P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">FONT face=Calibri>SPAN lang=EN-US>More Naked Than EverSPAN lang=EN-US> is the first full collection of poetry by Gary Rasberry. This collection will not let you down. He exposes himself in ways that other poets are reserved to do.  In the first poem of the collection the author says up front  – “I have always been / will always be / unfinished.” In a later poem he is not afraid to wonder about his ego – “Or maybe it was my Ego stuffed larger”. Be ready to ponder your life through is observation. Be ready to be surprised.?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
