The Cataracts

Praise for Raymond McDaniel:
“Raymond McDaniel's language trains every particle of your attention on the surface and what stirs beneath.” —C.D. Wright
From “Projection Box”:
Light is not light.
Light is only one way things radiate,
so light is an object falling apart.
The light of the moon
is the light of the sun
which is the sun collapsing.
Raymond McDaniel is the author of Special Powers and Abilities, Saltwater Empire, and Murder (a violet), a National Poetry Series selection.
