Shadows into Light - Steve Wheeler - Bog

Shadows into Light is the fifth collection by American poet David Catterton Grantz and the first to be published by Wheelsong Books. It contains an eclectic brew of observations and introspections, sometimes flavoured with wry and humorous insights into the human condition and our interactions with our natural world, but always seasoned with authenticity and profundity. It is quite simply a collection that is filled with hauntingly beautiful poetry. Here's what the writing community has said about the poetry of David Catterton Grantz: Dave Grantz is an expected surprise, a familiar novelty, dependably unpredictable in form and content, style and mood - ever shifting his ideas and yours. Strap in and ride shotgun in whatever vehicle he's driving, to wherever it goes. He knows the way. - Ellis Ralph, wordsmith, singer-songwriter David Grantz writes with remarkable passion and scope. Of his own poetry, he relates, "Imagining myself in another's shoes is an essential aspect of what I do." Accordingly, Grantz's work allows him a radical fluidity of identity, a distilling of his sentient, compassionate sensibility. - Geoffrey Oelsner, Author of Attunements for the Earth. David Grantz's poetry appeals to my appetite for contemporary voices that resonate enlightenment in a world gone wrong. His wisdom bites with satire and irony, pulling no punches, taking no prisoners: His "... cyclones ever forming" are his way of saying, "I love you, but you have been warned." - Ken Haley, Poet, Artist With Shadows into Light, David Grantz has yet again produced remarkable and engaging collection, employing varying forms to entertain and challenge both the mind and soul. Complex, nuanced assessments from the torn heart society. - Gavin Prinsloo, Poet (The Soul Whisperer) Telescoping in on reality with vivid focus, David Grantz demonstrates his prowess as a seasoned, modern poet. - Matt Elmore, Author of Constellation Road, Admin of Invisible Poets When I go to my peaceful spots, I almost always take one of David's books with me. I never tire of his poems. - Steve Coger, Educator, Journalist
