First Edition: Published in Academic Exchange Extra (University of Northern Colorado [Greeley, CO]), 2008, December. Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction From Joseph's death to the building of the tabernacle, from slavery to the birth of a nation: This collection of poems covers 145 years of well-known, dramatic history (1657 to 1512 BCE) as described in the 40 chapters of Exodus. An excerpt Chapter 10 These locusts without
Women's hair,
Men's faces,
And lions' teeth- Without golden crowns
And iron breastplates- Without horse-legs
And scorpion-tails- These locusts,
Without king or
Commander,
Riding the roar
Of chariots,
Searching for things green,
For linen, leather,
Even varnish. These locusts chewed
Their body weight each day,
Until a stiff west wind
Sent them off into the
Red Sea, To drown. The author Dan Lukiv, published in 19 countries, is a poet, novelist, columnist, short story and article writer, and independent education researcher (hermeneutic phenomenology). As a creative writer, he apprenticed with Canada's Professor Robert Harlow (recipient of the George Woodcock Achievement award for an outstanding literary career), the USA's Paul Bagdon (Spur Award finalist for Best Original Paperback), and England's D. M. Thomas (recipient of the Cheltenham Prize for Literature, Orwell Prize [biography], Los Angeles Fiction Prize, and Cholmondeley award for poetry). He attended The University of British Columbia (creative writing department), the acclaimed Humber School for Writers (poetry writing program), and Writer's Digest University (novel writing program).
