GSP's Book of the Day June 10

From the Dark Side of the Moon, a poetry anthology by Cairol Dawson

As a poem speaks and breathes life, Cairol Dawson’s poems are moments lived the best way possible and captured in the best possible form and language. But unlike journal entries, her poems do not merely preserve experiences, rather they continue to be in the ever-present, moments not framed in the past, but living in the here and now, echoing in the very same space as the reader who reads them. Indeed, magic.

How can one, with the logic of science, explain for instance the experience that can be derived from the poem, “Per l’amore de la luna” (for love of the moon)? Absolutely brilliant in its conception in words and a mind’s eye.

The poem does not care what country you are in and in what time. It’s there, a cupped magnificence on the palm of the page, yes, like the image of the moon reflected on till waters. There is simply no explaining. It’s simply there, existing in its own magical hour, to be loved.

Book of the Day December 29

Songs of the Dead by Dawn Colclasure

 

Dawn Colclasure’s dark poetry collection, Songs of the Dead (formerly named Topiary Dreams), is not only dark, but passionate. Anger, fear, hurt and betrayal run under the skin of this work and shine through especially bright in poems such as No Turning Back, Deep Within and I am Madness.  Colclasure examines the dark side of human nature; murder, drug use, violence, insanity and isolation. But, beyond the tales of death and darkness there’s also a message of empowerment; the voice of someone who has taken too much, for too long and has finally had enough.

Songs of the Dead is a re-release of the chapbook originally published in 2003 and with more than twenty-seven new poems; it has more than earned the title “expanded.”  Colclasure has a flair for prose, with lines such as “walk on the moon and hear the stars breathe,” (from Death Shows my Pain) and different poetry forms stop the reader from falling into a sing song rhythm of sameness and help to keep the collection fresh and interesting, page after page.
