| Amethysts and Emeralds is a selection of Daniel King’s award-winning poetry, much of which has been published in journals around the world. The poems embrace a wide variety of forms, from free verse to sonnet, roundel, villanelle, and sestina. Thematically, too, the poems are very varied, ranging from the realist “Head in the Sand”, published in the prestigious London Magazine, to a song lyric from Shadows of 1876: The Wild Birds have Returned, a CD of mystical country music songs about historical figures and events from the United States in the year 1876. Most of the poems, however, have a special interest in Catholicism, Hinduism and mysticism. Daniel King is a Western Australian writer. His collection of short stories, Memento Mori, also published by IP, won the IP Picks competition in 2010. His other published books are the novels Datura Highway and Vexil Excelsior (under his birthname, David King). His hobbies include surfing, following the latest developments in space exploration, and listening to the music of Mike Oldfield. |
