Songs of the Dead
Love is Like a Rainbow: Poems of Love and Devotion
Love is Like a Rainbow: Poems of Love and Devotion
Dawn Colclasure’s dark poetry collection, Songs of the Dead, 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 Topiary Dreams, 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.

For anyone who has been touched by fire, a transformation takes place and life takes on new meaning and new challenges that will inspire courage, self-acceptance and hope. The poems in this book are about how one "burn victim" transformed herself into a "burn survivor." To survive the flames and bear the scars of a fiery ordeal means a life of struggle, seclusion, fear and a desire to be accepted by others. But in the end, one must be able to get past all of this, find the strength to hold their head high and face the world as a burn survivor who can stand strong..

We Will Never Have Enough Days
In America, there is the "State of the Union" annual address. This collection of poems is more of a "State of the World" address -- a report of all of the things going on in the world hurting both the planet and those who inhabit it, all taken from the headlines of news media. Homelessness, animal abuse, greed, domestic violence, discrimination, religious wars, bullying, lies, oppression and outrage; these are what make up the world that we live in today. Gathered in this book are poems that force the reader to look at these issues up close, with the goal that perhaps something can be done, change can be made, and hope for humanity can be restored.
