Daniel Sloate's imagination has remained intact over the years. Be it in the form of the prose-poem or free verse, he rearranges the chaos in private experience by giving it an order which is entirely metaphorical. Every facet in our experience can be transformed into a myth-image and, as myth, Dead Shadows has the hypnotic fascination that ends only with the closing of the book.
Sloate is a very accomplished poet, skilled at the movement of images. His poems carry within them a cadence and a logic that make his surrealistic world comprehensible on its own terms.
Quill & Quire
Daniel Soate's poetry is unique. The poet has the ability to take his readers into his phantasmagorias. His poetic voice and visions are his own, springing from the very source of his soul. Such a poet deserves the nation's recognition.
Writer's Lifeline
Sloate's poetry reflects an imagiative and compassionate heart with stylistic maturity. It treats the reader with deference.
