"These poems of love returning to love, and light returning to light, are a heart gone supernova. Page by page Frank burns a path to her readers' hearts. The alignments are profound, the connections electric – from heart to bone, from marrow to star. These are radiant poems, where we earthbound creatures may find simultaneous escape and renewal."

— George Wallace, Writer in Residence at the Walt Whitman Birthplace

Canon for Bears and Ponderosa Pines

"In this new and startling collection, Diane Frank’s poems transcend not just genres but entire dimensions. When she speaks to J.S. Bach, she really means it and when Bach speaks back, she listens — entirely — the way certain moths perceive sound via their whole body, even their wings. How is this accomplished? It will seem to come through the poems themselves — their music, tonal qualities and subjects, yet it goes even deeper as it pushes up like duende through the soles of your feet. The voice is declarative, emphatic, spirit driven. She will tell you, ' When a buffalo enters your dream, / listen for arpeggio hooves, / the weight of music, / a copper moon / above a vanishing prairie ' and you will, you must listen."
—Lois P. Jones, author of Night Ladder, & Radio Host of KPFK's Poets Café

Blackberries in the Dream House

SamplechaptersAbout this book Book tourReviewsPress release

"What would happen to us if we were to undertake the discipline of turning our life entirely and self-consciously, into a poem? Through Yukiko, who becomes both a contemplative Buddhist and a geisha skilled in the refinements of sensuous pleasure, Diane Frank allows us to live within the soul of a young woman who has undertaken to create a life imagined and expressed as a poem, in every moment, waking and sleeping, making love or meditating. With its power of language, Blackberries in the Dream House will seduce many readers into considering whether a prosaic life is the only choice we have."

—Pierre DeLattre, author of Walking on Air and
Tales of a Dalai Lama

Featured Poem

Iowa Omen

Three hawks fly south
as your voice trembles
across the great plains.

Fields of sleeping cows
a gentleness in the land.

Here is the omen:
Sky splashed with aurora,
blue stars, curtains of light.

The letters are gold
on red silk –
Japanese calligraphy.

If I had the right kind of ink
I’d write them
on your skin.

— Diane Frank
