Description
Deborah Keenan, author of eleven collections of poems and a book of writing ideas, from tiger to prayer.
Dane Hamann's A Thistle Stuck in the Throat of the Sun is a remarkable debut first collection. In it you will not find any of the gimmicky solipsism or callow irony that pervades too much of contemporary American poetry. Instead, Hamann's poems are open and expansive explorations of the suffering body's negotiations with the will and the road and the world. Both honest and elemental, one need not be a runner to know that Hamann's gift with poetic image is wonderfully right. To read these poems is to be inspired by a new poetic voice that is natural, real, and essential as your next breath.
Eliot Khalil Wilson, author of This Island of Dogs
Dane Hamann skillfully captures the transcendence of moving under one's own power and our biological need to connect with nature. A Thistle Stuck in the Throat of the Sun takes readers on an immersive journey down remote gravel roads, around serene lakes, and through mountainous terrain that won't soon be forgotten.
Mackenzie Havey, author of Mindful Running
