seashells are alike, sun says<br />
‘nothing that is known to man is unknown to me,<br />
no foreign land’.<br />
soul oil lighting the way<br />
catching sleep between the swells<br />
keeping one eye open for land<br />
while the continents move farther apart.<br />
Usually one can say<br />
that the land stays in the same place<br />
but for him, an island of a man<br />
it’s not always that way.<br />
Out of a desultory nod<br />
the tide deposits him somewhere<br />
along the new shoreline<br />
Author bio: Daniel’s poetry is reminiscent of Black Mountain and New York school<br />
poets with a tone of Romanticism and Metaphysics, the night to his day work of novel<br />
writing. Exploring themes and images more freely and naturally than the conventions of<br />
fiction generally allow, letting form and language guide the content rather than the<br />
content guiding the language. Daniel has an M.F.A. from the University of Victoria and<br />
has been published in a range of literary magazines. He is a reader and contributor to the<br />
Tongues of Fire reading series and has written several books, all currently seeking<br />
publishers.
