Dawn Bratton

Dawn Bratton lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and writes poetry that orbits the image of eyes and theme of perception as the gateway to the universe of experience. Specifically, her poetics seek to expand the horizon of perception of the field of experience, and to reconcile the seeming contradictions within that area of illumination, in the hopes of giving and receiving an increasingly widened and integrated vision of subjective existence. She currently serves as Vice President for WordSwell, a literary organization and online journal based out of Oakland, CA. Her work has recently appeared in The Oracle, Matter, The Opiate, Modern Literature, The Metaworker, Global Poemic, and Disquiet Arts, among other literary journals.
