In honor of new beginnings in 2016, poet Kristina Jacobs published her fifth poetry chapbook, “Dawn After Dusk” on New Year’s Day through her company, The Next Level Publishing. The collection explores the themes of light and growth. The order of the poems takes the reader on a journey along with the poet, exploring emotions and ideas one might experience at the beginning of growth, through those dark and questioning times to ultimately finding hope and moving forward in life.
Jacobs writes non-rhyming free verse poetry, from a distinctly feminine point of view. Each poem stands alone, yet as a collection, they follow a pattern of showing growth and change in life as she explores the different emotions.
Dawn After Dusk includes the poems: Nothing’s Fair, The Pretenders, Damn my Castles in the Sky, Suffocate, Coming Unglued, Blackberry Bend, She X’d Herself, On the Path, On the Cusp of Becoming, Taking Action, I Dream, Soul Ingredients, To Lead, The Power of Being Awake and 20 Wishes.
Dawn After Dusk is Kristina Jacobs’ fifth poetry chapbook. Her other poetry collections include: Grey Weir, The Wildwood Guardian, Inside Invisible and Slipshod Mornings & Meandering Midnights. Kristina lives in Minnesota where she writes through the long, cold winter.
It is currently available as an ebook at Amazon for .99. Her company, The Next Level Publishing will produce a print version of the chapbook and release it to the public later this year.
