David Hanlon’s Dawn’s Incision
Advance Praise:
‘David Hanlon’s Dawn’s Incision is a profound exploration of common humanity. Head first, he takes on love, loss, and a deep sense of longing. Each poem in this collection expertly blends vivid imagery with emotional resonance, and invites readers to a space where the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.
Hanlon’s precise use of language and metaphor guides us through the intricate territories of the heart and mind, revealing the beauty and pain inherent in our connections with others and ourselves. Dawn’s Incision goes beyond the initial experience of reading; these are poems that echo.
For readers dealing with the depths of human emotions this collection will help you emerge with a refreshed understanding of how to live. A must-read. A remarkable gift from a poet who gets better with every poem I read.’
– Alan Parry, Editor-in-Chief of The Broken Spine, and author of Neon Ghosts, Echoes, and Twenty Seven.
