National Poetry Month Day 16

On Day 16 of National Poetry Month, switch seasons for a moment and take yourself back to autumn with the words of Lorne Daniel. This poem was previously published in Empty Mirror as “Island Fall”

Lorne Daniel published three books of poetry before leaving the literary world for about 20 years. He has recently returned to writing and “What Does Not Fall” is from a new book manuscript called “Preparations for the Wrong Emergency.” Lorne lives in Victoria, BC, on the unceded territories of the coast Salish people.
