Synopsis
One part poetry, another part memoir, Dancing to Songs About Death is Summer Doles Warner's literary debut. With poems and pieces of prose separated not by chapters, but by sections named after specific phobias -- from the fear of everything to the fear of death -- Dancing to Songs About Death uniquely documents Warner's experiences with anxiety, particularly health anxiety, along with such emotionally resonating themes as grief, childhood, adulthood, and the old, familiar ticking of the passing of time.
Lyrical, relatable, poignant, and achingly honest, Dancing to Songs About Death is an album of words and feelings for the person who isn't afraid of dancing in life's darkest shadows.
