Psalms, Yawps, and Howls
The Ocean of Light overcomes the ocean of darkness.
Psalms, Yawps, and Howls is the writing website of Daniel Eugene Wilcox, a poet, short story writer, and novelist. Daniel earned his degree in Creative Writing from Cal State University, Long Beach. He is a former activist, writing and literature teacher, and roving wanderer, from Montana to the Middle East, casting lines out upon the turbulent waters and far shores of this troubled world.
Yes, troubled, so very shaken, a dirge from history past to the dangerous future...read of "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" in The Medulla Review, July 2010, Issue #3.
Recently published poems include "A Love Affair" and "Iraqi Temples" in The Clockwise Cat, "Giving Talk 'A' Grade" in Clutching at Straws, and "Sign of the 12" in Rubber Lemon.
Visit Willows Wept Review for nature's epiphany in June 2010: "Live Branch Reach" and "Night Watch Psalm." Reflect on natural calamity in Daniel's poem "Onslaught" published in Danse Macabre.
For you animal lovers, check out lighter fare with "The Hatted Fish" in Structo Magazine and "The Canine Trail Memorial in vox poetica.
For those into historical stories turn to The Copperfield Review for "The Last Libation" a meditation on modern American Indians, "Body Parts," a bitter reflection on religion and war, and "The Crucified Isle" a lament on Ireland.
In August 2009, Diminuendo Press published Dark Energy, 96 of Daniel's experiential poems. The volume of poetry is available from Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, local bookstores, etc. Or get Dark Energy directly from Diminuendo Press:

Daniel has finished a second book of poems, Psalms, Yawps, and Howls. The third tome is sparking out from his mind to the screen right now;-). He is also working on a second novel, a suspense thriller called An Eye for a Beheading, partially for his wife who loves "who-done-its."
Daniel resides on the central coast of California with his mystery-loving wife and a hyper-cat named Fizzy. Besides writing, he reads a lot, shoots photography, and finds time to exercise. He's an old backpacker and misses those trips. In the past he hiked up the tallest peak in Arizona, to the top of Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevadas, and down into the bottom of the Grand Canyon on many of its South Rim trails; but now he hikes into his computer room each day in the fall of his years:-). Well, it's not quite that bad; Daniel swims regularly and has hiked with his family on Kauai and in Olympia National Park in Washington State, and he day walks around locally on the Central Coast.

I saw, also, that there was an ocean of darkness and death; but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness. In that also, I saw the infinite love of God, and I had great openings...
