The Lead Guitarist (serialized in *spark [Vancouver, BC], 2000). Revised Edition (re-named Whirlpool): LukivPress (Sardis, BC), 2022. An excerpt The Lead Guitarist From a winter-scarred porch,
I peer at the skyline-
I'm a radar
Scanning for altitude
(Not that you should steer
I peer at the skyline-
I'm a radar
Scanning for altitude
(Not that you should steer
By radar: that's like inviting rocks
Into your hull). I see lines of Trans Atlantic
Clouds
As grey as poor rhythm
And as long as Beethoven's ninth.
But I imagine them as
Simply grey beasts,
Or ship-punching fists,
Or strings of blue hearts lost
In Les Paul-pickups-
Pickups that change finger-licking
Scribbles
Into electric licks
And screams. I scan the blue sky above
The grey lines;
I'm a Malibu surfer
Sighting a dream-wave,
A Cariboo logger
Attacking lunch, And a sunbather
With red shades. Before my day ends,
I'll turn the colour blue
Into an overdrive-
Feast, In spite of the ache-
In spite of /Me. The author Dan Lukiv, published in 19 countries, is a poet, novelist, columnist, short story and article writer, and independent education researcher (hermeneutic phenomenology).

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).
