Flamingo Nation

As in the opening poem of Flamingo Nation, Danny Dover captures the way we all "search for words under the words when times get hard", and become "like starving deer...pawing for apples at winter's end."

Danny Dover's poems take the reader on journeys with destinations as far-flung as Kathmandu and Ireland; a high Himalayan trail and a subway packed with immigrants; the tattooed arm of a diner waitress and a flamingo stranded in Siberia; through moments of grief and humor and even a broken marriage saved with superglue. Yet no matter the distance he always brings us back home to a world now subtly changed by "a little kindness and sense of direction".

In the words of James Crews, author of Unlocking the Heart and Kindness Will Save the World: "Every poem.... is precise yet effortless....Danny Dover cares deeply about his readers, crafting poems that help to make our 'hardened world' a better, more compassionate place...... I'm in love with the light-filled kindness that lives at the center of this life-giving and necessary new book."
