POETRY ROCKS
Dave Morrison has published twelve books of poetry. His work has been featured in many literary journals and anthologies and read on Writer's Almanac.
“sharp, revealing imagery in crisp and subtle but tightly rhythmic language”
(Dana Wilde / Bangor Daily News)
“In the car wreck called poetry, Morrison tells us what it's like when life runs off the road. He lingers, examines, hobbles off, telling himself (and us) to breathe. Concentrate. Laugh. Do it again.”
(Michael Frias-May - poet)
There is no voice quite like his. What shines in every poem is musical sound and rhythm, grittiness, reality, humor, and the rare ability to tackle serious subjects without taking himself too seriously. There is a wonderful, refreshing lack of pretentiousness and self-pity in all his poems and books.
Alice Persons, Editor and Publisher, Moon Pie Press
There is very little academic about Dave Morrison's approach to poetry; he is a rule-breaker. Don't talk to him about sonnets or sentence structure. His poetry is uncontrived, and it is like breathing, sometimes long and steady; other times, choppy and quick about the lungs. But always, there is rhythm, and uncompromising honesty.
