AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Dancing from the Edge of Darkness is a succession of amplified prose descriptions, in which the narrator poet or central character keeps on changing - so that one has to 'put oneself in the place of the other'; see from the vantage point of someone dissimilar to oneself, in order to have a main story line, or sense of narrative over and above the individual ones.
Poetic techniques are used to evoke or recreate a sense of the mystical. The book uses synchronicity, recurrence and atmosphere, among other modes, to suggest what lies outside the self - or specifically, the self that is beyond the self. -- Inside cover
