Robin Wyatt Dunn, always the poet of beauty and imagination, offers us a work of splendid topography. A dream, as poetry often simulates, is present within this work. Dunn travels the language of the Earth, its peopled history, to remind us (if we read carefully) that art and life are equal synonyms. The special thing about this collection is it is not only astonishing, it is bare and melancholy. They say sad songs achieve the best effects. This vivid verse compilation is sad, drifting, and mournful at once. The poet's exile is the chief image of the collection--as Christ Himself said, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country." A poet is home in his work. Here, Dunn both enumerates and interrogates the hidden dream we are too distracted to encompass; as simple souls in the brush, we do not wish to disturb the Universe. Yet Dunn did this for us.- Dustin Pickering, founder of Transcendent Zero Press… (meer)

Robin Wyatt Dunn's "What black delirious daylight sets you forward in the boat" is a poem of repetition: words, phrases, ideas, and images appear, disappear, and reappear in the same or other forms. In this way, it reads like a boat rides the waves, each swell and crest is distinct even as it appears identical to the previous and the next.

Only when you look up and focus on something more distant does it become clear that, in fact, the boat has been progressing toward some destination. That destination in this poem is an awakening or revelation that is worth the trip, if you will just keep paddling. Enjoy the ride as the images unfold before your eyes and then drift away.

"I unfold for you / Like a poem / A weaponized simulation of reality / Set to stir your feet.

"Inside the simulation, / I am breaking the windows, carefully, / With a hammer."

If you are not careful this poem could be the hammer to the window of your heart. But only if you read it closely. (
