A Beanie and a Cup of Tea
The soul-searching poems in Larry Dunn’s debut collection, A Beanie and A Cup of Tea, invite readers into a deeply personal journey that explores the mystery of life and death, the beauty of words as gift, and the power of sustaining love not fully known before the loss of his son, Seth. Both introspective and transparent, Dunn writes with an unflinching style about the realities of unimaginable loss, his willingness to embrace the unknowable, and his renewed commitment to cherish life and those he loves. In an honest portrayal of what it means to sit with the pain of loss, Dunn searches for ways to stay connected to his son within the “thin spaces” of these poems, “where mystery is / cloaked in beauty / and the line between / heaven and earth / collapses into love.” A Beanie and A Cup of Tea invites the reader into these spaces, extending a knowing embrace and giving voice to those whose lives are shaped by grief.

Swann is the story of four individuals who become entwined in the life of Mary Swann, a rural Canadian poet whose authentic and unique voice is discovered only hours before her husband hacks her to pieces.Who is Mary Swann? And how could she have produced these works of genius in almost complete isolation? Mysteriously, all traces of Swann's existence — her notebook, the first draft of her work, even her photograph — gradually vanish as the characters in this engrossing novel become caught up in their own concepts of who Mary Swann was.

Scar and Flower
These poems, alternately gritty and transcendent, find the spirit in our stark, hardscrabble lives."This is an incredible, luminous and most serious investigation, of being, of human suffering, of war and peace - of the factories of violence and the notebook of enlightenments. We deepen into spirit and lives lost. Lee is concerned with the turning of beauty, the intimacy of death and the boundlessness of small moments, 'the broken body of a tiny bird, fragments that can change a life. Glitterings of light, planetary systems, electric skies available and unavailable. He is the form rider' of hope. A stellar project, here. Rare and gifted, a timely arrival. Life-deep brilliance."--Juan Felipe ...
