From the first pages of trembling discovery to the final climactic scene at the cowboy derby, I had to forgo several hours of prime-time writing on my own NaNoWriMo adventure to fall into Dawn's Delton. Good book and songs but over my ability. No wonder the book keeps getting raved reviews. I just turn those pages, skipping ahead to the next action sequence.

From the first pages of trembling discovery to the final climactic scene at the cowboy derby, I had to forgo several hours of prime-time writing on my own NaNoWriMo adventure to fall into Dawn's Delton. Good book and songs but over my ability. No wonder the book keeps getting raved reviews. I just turn those pages, skipping ahead to the next action sequence. Interesting descriptions of life within a ballet company and the difficult personalities that the dancers have to put up with. There are so many things about Angelique Forge, and several of the minor but important characters, that I'm curious to learn more about. Nearly every chapter starts with something along the lines of "the young man standing by the fire trying to decide" and then it takes four or five paragraphs to find out who this man was (it's not always our hero). A great read for anyone interested in entering the Forex market. On the other hand, the examples make it all easier.Have you ever thought about human domestication? Well, if you never did, than after listening/reading The Four Agreements you will understand that we are not any different than any oth“What a refreshing range of vision DéLana Dameron shows in these splendid poems. Ever rich with the arresting image, ever graceful and yet refusing to look away from a suffering that calls grace into question—from the ‘assemblies of the shattered / in Harlem’ to the steady inevitability of how the flesh must fail us—these poems argue for witness as the only way of knowing—of being somehow grateful for—a world that is always leaving us, even as we ourselves must leave it.”—Carl Phillips, author of Riding Westward and The Tether“How God Ends Us is the luminous debut of a poet who helps us shape the geometrics of sudden change that are too much with us. The observations the poet makes in this collection are of the wanderer pondering the persistent question that lives in many of us of why things come to be and why they cease.”—Afaa Michael Weaver, author of The Plum Flower Dance and The Ten Lights of GodFrom personal to collective to imagined histories, Dameron’s poems explore essential, perennial questions emblemized by natural disasters, family struggles, racism, and the experiences of travel abroad. Though she reaches for conclusions that cannot be unveiled, her investigations exhibit the creative act of poetry as a source of consolation and resolution.. The poet’s acknowledgement of the breadth of this power under divine jurisdiction moves her by turns to anger, grief, celebration, and even joy. A. DéLana R. Dameron searches for answers to spiritual quandaries in her first collection of poems, How God Ends Us, selected by Elizabeth Alexander as the fourth annual winner of the South Carolina Poetry Book Prize. Dameron’s poetry forms a lyrical conversation with an ominous and omnipotent deity, one who controls all matters of the living earth, including death and destructionDameron holds a B.A.
