A Dance Horizontal redefines contemporary poetry. In his first book, Lyon shares over a hundred unique poems that explore a multitude of enthralling themes. His poetry embodies an exhilarating variety of rhythm, rhyme, and form. Some poems are serious, some are humorous, some are both. As said by Robert McDowell, At a time when many published poets seem unsure about what they have to say, Lyon's humble self-confidence and self-awareness are restorative.
Part I contains many poems inspired by Lyon's early years drawn from his childhood in Manhattan, summer camp in the Berkshires, life in the 60s, and numerous escapades. Part II revisits similar motifs using classic and modern poetic forms, including sonnets, sestinas, a glosa, a Golden Shovel, a double acrostic, and a villanelle. In Part III, Lyon expresses the essence of romantic poetry in a voice radiating from his deeply personal perspective, often with an artful touch of humor and a passionate view of love.
Throughout this remarkable collection, readers will discover interwoven themes that resonate with their inner world. These poems will surely be read more than once and shared eagerly with friends and family.
