hello distance

by Daniel Wallock

Loving poetry written under a single lamp in a college dorm room.

hello
hello distance
hello horizon
hello lonesome stars
if you're out there i'm seeking
know that i'm seeking
know that i'm dreaming
and know that i'm searching
hello distance– hello

Hello Distance was something that drew my attention with the minimalist cover and the beautiful summary. Back when I was younger, I used to always write poetry as a way to escape problems I had in my childhood, whether it be from the lack of friends, to the lack of attention from my family and my parent’s fighting.

I received this book through Goodreads, but just now got around to reading it. I am SO glad I did. I'm not usually an avid poetry reader, however this short book was beautiful, and it drew me in right away. I particularly love the simultaneous subtlety and force of his words. You can feel emotion seeping off the pages, and you understand some of what he is yearning for/ struggling with yet the explicit details aren't stated. I hope Daniel Wallock continues to publish his work!

hello distance by Daniel Wallock is a short book of poetry. I think that the author has an interesting use of language. Mr. Wallock has presented some really incredible passages and they evoke some very beautiful imagery.

I "bought" a copy of this from Amazon.com.au when it was free. These are just my honest thoughts.
