Cast Your Eyes Like River Stones Into The Exquisite Dark is secretly written in two halves. The first is reminiscent of a dreamer standing in wonder at the edge of the abyss, the mystery, craving to plunge into it, perhaps contemplating whether there is another side. The second is the revelation of waking up within a dream and the journey through its heart. It is for the reader to look and decide where the book splits in half. It is for the reader to look and decide where the abyss splits in half and see if there is another side.

Poetry runs through Danny Sherrard like an electrical current. You get the feeling that he just plugs in and images flow out of him that could light up all of your dark rooms. What makes Danny masterful is how deftly he controls that charge and his huge capacity for handling the voltage. Plus, he knows where all the sockets are.
