Even the Weapons: poems

In this new collection, Dunn considers the small, profound transformations that occur daily, often unnoticed. Central to the book is the shattering of identity from environmental loss and the slow rebuilding of the individual over time. The poems reach for an understanding of the individual’s role in the larger rhythms of human experience and consider the ways humanity translates the infinite into measurable concepts of language and tradition.

When faced with overwhelming circumstance, these poems advise: “Have patience. Even the weapons are tired of fighting.”
