Yves Olade on Dark When It Gets Dark- is about desire, about gentleness and grief. The poems think in colors, in shapes, in moods. They think about water, and love & hands. Summer sings as a theme throughout the collection, but winter is always on the horizons. Shifting from orange to blue and back again. The collection also speaks to something of honesty, of truth, to the absence of duplicity. What would it mean for something to just be what it was, and nothing else? What if a storm is just a storm, and nothing else? What if it's finally dark when it gets dark? It was a powerful collection for me to put together -- I hope that comes across.
