Nancy Dunlop announces the publication of her first book, “Hospital Poems,” available now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Book Depository.
Inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care exists within the hermetically sealed white space pressing in on the poems in Nancy Dunlop’s deeply moving chapbook, Hospital Poems. The impact? No extraneous words, no lines that edge out too far, no stanzas that speak a little too long. Any persona between you and the author is stripped away as well, no games, no antics, no masks, only the author speaking directly from somewhere close to the bone. After reading a few poems, you’ll realize you’ve been holding your breath, the poems are this taut.
– Suzette Marie Bishop, Jaguar’s Book of the Dead
