Don Domanski (1950-2020) was an acclaimed Canadian poet whose rich imagery and contemplative vein was unique in the world of Canadian letters. He published nine books of poetry during his lifetime, and was the recipient of the Governor General’s Award, the Atlantic Poetry Prize, the J.M. Abraham Poetry Award and the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Masterworks Arts Award.
“At the heart of poetry is a pre-verbal reality, a calling forth from a core within our being. There is something in poetry that pushes us beyond language. It’s as if the language used negated itself and opened up well beyond linguistic meaning, into a realm that has far more to do with communion than communication. Poetry derives its energies and interests, to a great degree, from an extralinguistic view of itself and its meaning. It transcends what is written on the page.”
