About Whelm:

"Dawn Lonsinger's work beautifully plies the seams between grandeur and banality, between identity and Fla-vor-ice, between the primal beauty of oceans, and (to steal her phrase) 'the sadism of normalcy.' In the dark water of these poems, lonsinger gives voice to those things that cannot be categorized, enumerated, or named--love, language, music, the ghosts of the natural world--all the things that can save us."
—Anthony Doerr

"I so admire the tension between the macro and micro worlds here. Whitmanesque inventories collide with intimate interiorities. dawn lonsinger turns a tough eye and a tender heart toward the experience of living fully in the rush of the Now and the flickering echoes of history. These are lushly rendered poems to savor and/or to devour."
—Nance Van Winckel
