Beyond the Dawn by Alissa Sammarco is the journey of two lovers as they travel from the honeymoon into an unsettled domesticity. Love binds them as they face their own frailties and inconsistencies both alone and together. Each poem is a view into the heart of a lover. Each poem builds on the last with conversational and, at times, lyrical imagery and beauty. You will want to hold them in your arms, and you will want to tear the poems out and send them home.
