The Seaquaker is the writing website of Daniel Eugene Wilcox, a poet, short story writer, and novelist.

Poetry is a creative game of the imagination--a way of seeing, a way of feeling, a way of being; a chance to paint in our human canvas and to experience images and moods and truths via the deep structure of words.

Browse through his poems, short stories, and philosophical musings to see the world and life from a different perspective.
