Dead Shadows

Daniel Sloate (1931-2009) was a prolific poet, playwright and translator. Daniel Sloate's imagination has remained intact over the years. Be it in the form of the prose-poem or free verse, he rearranges the chaos in private experience by giving it an order which is entirely metaphorical. Every facet in our experience can be transformed into a myth-image and, as myth, Dead Shadows has the hypnotic fascination that ends only with the closing of the book.
