Armor Against The Dawn is D.L. Lang's 8th book, largely comprised of topical poetry written in response to current events, politics, and the experience of local protests. Poems inspired by a number of protests that had a spiritual bent. People feeling called on behalf of whatever their spiritual path was to protest for a better world, for peace, against racism, for the environment, while simultaneously honoring and giving voice to the different traditions through which we all perceive the world. Whether joining with indigenous Americans protesting the pipeline («Street Prophets»), with Buddhists meditating for peace («Peace Day», “Holding On”), or with fellow Jews actively resisting the oncoming era («The Day of Jewish Resistance”), it provided many powerful moments that translated into poetry.
As a collection of poems spanning pivotal subjects, Armor Against the Dawn is a complex representation of the poet's passionate views. The collection is layered with expressive thought and candid revelations of the poet's position on multiple current day social events. Insightful, as well as bold, the collection is infused with an underlying theme of a continual searching for answers, for understanding, and for resolution.
