Remarriages
“Remarriages” is for the outcast and the disappointed. Dark poems riding wildly through the mind of an angry man who both loves and hates the world. The words reveal a bitter struggle to reconcile with the horrors and the violence inherent in the world. Dunn’s poetry is psychological and raw, with a delicate balance between light and darkness. Dunn’s poems are valiant in expressing the darkness many fear, yet others embrace. Some of his poems nudge the reader to take time to examine the bizarre existence we call life.

I received a mobi.file copy of this book from the author, Robin Wyatt Dunn, through a giveaway he had on LibraryThing and the following is my honest opinion.
The first thing I noticed when I looked at this book is the manner in which he has presented each page. The extensive use of lower case letters stylistically reminded me of e e cummings. But, while Cummings primarily dealt with love and nature, Dunn’s writings tends to be written more on the other extreme; that of being fraught with the intrinsic violence we face on a day to day basis. The author’s no holds bar approach is quite spiritualistic painful in its truth, and beckons his readers to examine the world around us through the words of his poetry.
The major distraction I personally had in being able to totally appreciating this book had been my inability to differentiate from one poem to the next. So, in the end, with all things considered I’ve given this collection of poetry by Mr. Dunn 4 STARS.

This collection of poet Robin Wyatt Dunn is clever and perceptive. I'm not sure that those who are new to poetry will find it easy or appealing. However readers of poetry will appreciate the care that Robin has given in producing each of the poems. Each individual poem is as a snapshot, a moment in time, a short story. It is a pleasure to read poetry by a poet who has the experience to know his craft. Robin's poetry does not deserve to be ignored, but widely read. John Eliot

Remarriages by Robin Wyatt Dunn

I’m not a poetry guy. I tried for this review, but the formatting made it confusing where one poem started and ended. This was just out of my wheel house and a bit of a chore to get through.
