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 🙏

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

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.

It’s hard to find words to point toward that light and our meeting it. Poetry helps!
