Dawn Marar's chapbook, Efflorescence, includes poems chosen as a finalist for The Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry; Orison Anthology Awards for Poetry; Chautauqua Literary Journal; and a Pushcart Prize nomination. This collection draws upon her personal connections to the Middle East and her experience as an American, a woman, wife, mother, and activist.
This collection of poems reflects Dawn's commitment to human rights and social justice-- concerns in both national and international spheres. She fearlessly takes on military occupation; war, including drone warfare; and contemporary imperialism. She does this with inventive language and form; and with deep humanistic values --with love, compassion, and humor. She challenges her own culpability as a citizen of the world. Through poetry, Dawn confronts the influence of consumerism, religion, and nationality as she travels throughout the Middle East. Through decades of experience, Dawn's poetry celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit.
Dawn has lived in Jordan and travels extensively. This collection recounts her travels to the Palestinian Territories, Israel, Syria, Turkey, Morocco, and Egypt. Her poetry takes the reader from the top of Mount Nebo, to the banks of the Jordan River, to Taksim Square in Istanbul during a tense May Day celebration.
Some of Dawn's poems are experimental. She invented her own poetic form, the pronghorn, inspired by the classic poetic form, the ghazal. Her work references poetic traditions of form (haibun, ghazal, ekphrastic); literary traditions (Arabic folktales) and poets (Wallace Stevens). Dawn has studied with the poets Major Jackson, Bernadette Mayer, Alan Shapiro, Kevin Young, Rebecca Wolff, and John Montague. Her poems explore language; incorporating Arabic words and phrases.
The reader accompanies Dawn, her husband (who was born in Jordan and raised in Baghdad) and their children as they partake of the everyday life of Jordanians, and other Arabs. The reader is afforded an intimate look at how families everywhere share the same concerns for health and safety.
The time frame of the poems extend from 1981 through 2017. The work addresses the Iraq war and the Women's March on Washington. The collection spans a wide geography: from a village in New York State to the banks of the Jordan River. She explores spiritual, religious, historic, and Biblical places.
The chapbook's title, Efflorescence, invites readers to consider the role of the United States in the world at a seminal point in our history. The work challenges readers to reflect upon the effect of culture and national identity in shaping our lives and the world we live in. The poems reveal an individual life as citizen of the greater world.
Dawn's poetry is not a diatribe, but a meditation on one's role in shaping a better world for all. Through language simple and direct, Dawn paints "winged sumac, scarlet oak, sugar maple leaves [that] burst into flames" when seen through tears. (from "Working Out"). She captures the irony of life: "A fig tree housed/in winter bears fruit, despite/a new world order." (from "Sparkles) And the painful irony of being in Istanbul during a government lock-down, while back home, in the States "marchers protested the death/of Freddie Gray following injuries/sustained in police custody" (from "Mayday Mayday Mayday). Ultimately, Dawn speaks truth to power when she cites the Twitter account of a foreign leader notorious for silencing writers.
Dawn earned a Bachelor's degree from Skidmore College and a Master's degree from Columbia University. She worked with social justice and human rights groups as a planner and community organizer.

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
