beyond first lines

Penny Dunning uncovers a deep darkness that glistens with honesty and visual acuity in her first book, beyond first lines. Her poems touch humanity’s memory. You will feel as though she has written your inner most thoughts as she exposes her soul. With a strong voice and raw language she dips her pen into an average life and pulls out extraordinary poetry. Many of the poems have been written in the last few years, but some have been ripening for thirty.
