I've known rivers...my soul has grown deep like the rivers.*
selahriver is a new writing website of Daniel Eugene Wilcox, a poet
and fiction writer who has traveled rivers of the world and rivers of the
soul and rivers of the mind.
*Quote by Langston Hughes
For Daniel's previously published writing in many magazines stream on
over to the website: http://www.psalmsyawpshowls.com/
This summer, Daniel's third collection of published poetry, selah river, will be available. His previous books of published poetry, Psalms, Yawps, and Howls and Dark Energy are sold at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, local bookstores, and library shops.
Daniel casts his 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...
