I have workshopped with John Daniel a couple of times; he is a writer of writers, and a very kind man. Thank you so much for this much needed poem today 🙏
I like the whole piece, but especially the last sequence on light. In my deepest journeys, I have met the immortal diamond light. It’s not something that lends itself to words, so good on John for finding some.

You’re welcome. And I’m delighted to hear that you’ve experienced John Daniel in person. Bless your writing.

It’s hard to find words to point toward that light and our meeting it. Poetry helps!
Beautiful!!!
Wonderful. Grateful to have this poem this morning.
Nice.
Oh, Professor Phyllis. John Daniel is a new poet. For me. To learn from. Thank you for this poem & I just read his amazing Mother poem too.
Like you, I appreciate his way of speaking to the world.
Love this poem. Thank you.
