Seasons in Love - Dave Malone
Dave Malone's poetry is funny and sexy and heartbreaking in its honesty. Malone's craft is impeccable, he can travel swiftly across oceans and continents, across memories, like Rimbaud with his wild boat. He is one of our great contemporary love poets, one who hasn't been squeezed dry by academia. Malone proves that poetry can still be unfettered, and fun.
—Marilyn Kallet, author, Packing Light: New and Selected Poems; Director, Creative Writing Program, University of Tennessee
Grab a glass of wine, curl up in your favorite reading spot, and then prepare to be swept away. Dave Malone's sexy, wistful poems will not disappoint.
—Susan Solomon, Editor, Sleet Magazine
With stark sentiment, Dave Malone’s poems brave the harsh elements of exposure to find shelter and respite in unexpected places. It cuts through our deepest layers of protection, reveals accumulated regret, and the unyielding spirit that seeks to connect.
—Cynthia L. Toups, Senior Poetry Editor, Rose & Thorn Journal

Acknowledgments
The essence of these poems emanates from a singular feeling of love I have for Jenni Wichern—and poems certainly don’t do justice. A sincere thank you to Jenni for her many gifts to me, including the amazing book and cover design as well as the author photo.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the gracious and talented Darrelyn Saloom with whom I share a special writing journey. Her excellent suggestions (and gifts of small-batch bourbon) improved several versions of this volume. Thanks also to Terry Hampton for proofing the manuscript and catching pesky errors.
A shout-out goes to the guys of Ha Ha Tonka for the use of lyrics from their soulful song Caney Mountain,
which inspired my poem Preacher’s Lament.
A fond thank you to my oldest friend Wayne Blinne for his gorgeous and melancholic song River Town Girl,
which fostered the idea for my poem of the same title. And thanks also to Ruth Razo, whose 45s of swing music I miss and who gave me the gorgeous Spanish for the poem, Orchard.
Some of these poems, often in earlier versions, were first published elsewhere. Grateful acknowledgement to the editors of these journals.
