Stained Sheets is a contemporary free-verse poetry collection from writer Ahlia Demas. that includes selected poetry from her previous two poetry collections, Snow Fox and 20 Sunsets, both of which were printed in 1998 as chapbooks. Written with some maturity unlike her two prior collections, Stained Sheets has "teeth, " meaning some subject matter and the sprinkling of some curse words is not for the easily offended. Some poems cover sensitive subject matter as in LGBT and death. Despite that, one can find the wit and entertaining odes to be enjoyable. The title of the book, Stained Sheets, is not making any reference to the assumed slimy stains, but to the stains of life. We are born and swaddled in sheets, and in our end, we are covered in sheets. We tear, bleed, sweat, and occasionally drip a little chocolate on our sheets. These poems are tales of such stains, some of which are autobiographic.
