PRAISE

"As this marvelous debut blurs the boundary between taboo and convention, secrecy & privacy, I kept thinking of Edward Hopper’s 1959 painting Excursion Into Philosophy, the way the lovers there impart a mix of longing & regret. Like Hopper, Klahr troubles the line between isolation & intimacy. The Results are mature & Unflinching. Meet Me Here At Dawn is bittersweet, sensual, & brilliant."  — Terrance Hayes

"…poetry of immense vulnerability & fierce mettle; determined, convincing & heroically alive with courage of every kind." — D.A. Powell

REVIEWS:  

"Klahr's verse is alternatively lush & fiery.....incompleteness & space is something she takes advantage of..." - AGNI

"Meet Me Here at Dawn is a book of scrutiny & of elegy. Klahr moves with grace through topics of infidelity, age, pregnancy, & loss—but it is an uncommon grace of grim determination....In a time when language itself is under increased attack, when telling the truth is jarring & unexpected, this is the poetry we need." - Colorado Review

"Not since Anne Sexton’s Love Poems have I read a book that so unflinchingly captures both the intense passion & loneliness of an affair.....Klahr sheds light on powerlessness, on an often epic struggle against desire, one that—even with its suggestions of animalism—is supremely human." - Fork & Page

"Hypocritical stigmas & double standards are left to wither in the light. Repression & oppression are left to crack under their own insensible weight.” - Angel City Review

"Klahr’s line expands and contracts from poem to poem // a song hummed into different jars // then unscrewed" - The Bind
