Not for the faint of heart, the Dark Dance is an unflinching climb from the depths of addiction to the heights of inspiration. No fluffy flower poems here.

 This is a book to bring you to tears, deeply personal and hypnotic in its rhythm. These poems are so vivid, so evocative and immersive; I felt my nerve endings being exposed as I read, felt a hollowness in the pit of my stomach, and had to pause more than a few times for deep breaths to absorb the impact of the words. This collection gets to the heart of why we write and read poetry – to feel and explore deeply, and to share that exploration with others. These poems feel like an honor and a privilege to read, and I’m grateful to have read them.
