Steven Davison's Dancing Mockingbird is written by a poet who possesses a deep sense of spirituality. It is this spirituality, and a love for the natural world that give Davison his sense of place and meaning. Mockingbird is a canticle to nature and the ways it touches us. The poems are apocalyptic: Oaks crash. Dunes drown, the shoreline reaches inland, flooding the decade's inner courts. Volcanoes belch. The planet's mantle quakes and splits. Cities meet their makers. The poems are intimate: In sleep as deep as shadows of mountains are my dreams of you. Throughout, there is a beauty of language and imagery that made this collection a great pleasure to read.
-John David Muth, author of Misanthropes Rarely Procreate
There is candor here, and a close sensitivity to the wonders of our world-and hints of a world beyond that we do not know. The poems are sensual, and emit a willingness to share with us Steven's deep connections to our inter-connected beingness.
-Judith McNally, author of Chopping without Chopping (micro-dialogues)
