Overview:
The poetry of Dan Verkys emerges from the same shadow-rich terrain that defines his visual art—an intricate landscape where surrealism, psychological tension, and mythic symbolism intertwine. While widely known for his darkly imaginative imagery, Verkys’ written work reveals an equally potent command of mood and metaphor, offering readers a deeper passage into the emotional and philosophical currents that run beneath his art. His poems often read like whispered confessions from the edge of consciousness: fragments of dreamlogic, half-remembered myths, and stark human truths distilled into striking, symbolic language. Through his use of evocative imagery, rhythmic intensity, and a tone that oscillates between haunting vulnerability and defiant strength, Verkys crafts poetry that does more than accompany his artworks—it expands their universe. His verses become portals, inviting the reader to confront the beautiful, the broken, and the uncanny within themselves, and to navigate the grey spaces where darkness doesn’t merely obscure but illuminates.
