This is good stuff, Jerry Macdonald, editor, The Cariboo Observer. * First Edition: Serialized in The Cariboo Observer (Quesnel, BC), 1994. Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. * An excerpt The Bay The Bay of Bengal
Re-pukes a holowind of
Unnatural fury
Re-pukes a holowind of
Unnatural fury
And uncivilized debris; The tongue of death
Licks one
But misses another; Later,
A boy stands
Upon a salty rock,
Staring down,
Blankly,
Unhurriedly,
As waves nip at
A bloated baby; Stiff,
Outstretched arms
Lie frozen;
Death has left fingers
And toes puffy,
Lips and eyes bulgy; The backdrop is a freighter,
As large as fear,
Anchored like a stone: A mother rocks her baby
To sleep,
Yawns,
Hums Brahms' Lullaby,
Watches late-night news
To stay awake,
But switches channels
With a remote
When ugly becomes
Too ugly. 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).
