Revised Edition: LukivPress (Canada), 2022. Previously published as On Scalding Glass: A Summer Collection (Fullosia Press [USA], 2002). An excerpt The Swamp Beavers have dammed up
Dragon Creek again.
Hay fields along Johnston Ledge
Are a swamp. Blades of grass
Pierce the ice-flat surface. But ducks land:
Dragon Creek again.
Hay fields along Johnston Ledge
Are a swamp. Blades of grass
Pierce the ice-flat surface. But ducks land:
Morning pink and inverted
Purple hills shatter
As ripples paint a new scene. I imagine webby feet
Kicking beneath splashes
Of electrum. I want to see
Mosquito-larva and tadpoles.
I fancy trout that escaped
The fat creek, that slide
Through new space
In old time. I hope nobody
Dynamites the dam,
But someone will.
Someone must.
And yet, I hope nobody
Blows up that dam. The author Dan Lukiv, published in 19 countries, is a poet, novelist, columnist, short story and article writer, and independent education researcher (hermeneutic phenomenology). As a creative writer, he apprenticed with Canada's Professor Robert Harlow (recipient of the George Woodcock Achievement award for an outstanding literary career), the USA's Paul Bagdon (Spur Award finalist for Best Original Paperback), and England's D. M. Thomas (recipient of the Cheltenham Prize for Literature, Orwell Prize [biography], Los Angeles Fiction Prize, and Cholmondeley award for poetry). He attended The University of British Columbia (creative writing department), the acclaimed Humber School for Writers (poetry writing program), and Writer's Digest University (novel writing program).
