As When Waking

The poet will be joined by colleague Geoffery Babbitt

In As When Walking, Schonning offers us language at its most incandescent. Sweet sweet truths in poem after poem. Shimmering and satisfying…Gentle and yet irrefutable…
–Camille Dungy

The poems of Daniel Schonning’s debut collection range from personal examinations of childhood suffering and loss of faith to deep observations of images and objects to the foreclosure of a family home, a father estranged by addiction, mallards on a frozen pond, flowering bindweed, and a door to the underworld. With all its component pieces, As When Waking aims to apprentice itself to the medium of letters, inviting readers to listen and learn from the systems and symmetries of alphabets.
