Book excerpt: 'Metta Blues' is a blues poetry chapbook in 28 choruses by Australian poet Daniel Gargett. Spontaneous lines in free-verse carry the reader through a jazz-infused 'song' of adventure, spirituality, work and life. From the preface: Waves form and melt away- there and gone. An innate element of the whole that exists momentarily and melts back into it's own safe void. Beautiful and ephemeral life. Let these choruses wash over and forget them. They're a wave- a rough edge of the big, blue emptiness- to be seen and forgotten. Each individual and part of something bigger. Dependent and independent. Pratītyasamutpāda. A free-flow from the mind that's sometimes a torrent and sometimes a trickle. And what an exercise in ego!
