IT SANK IN THE NOW,

to float the virgin shore.

OCEANUS TELLS A STORY that’s been told a thousand times before, one that’s known all around the world – the tale of a passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean with massive loss of life. Oceanus tells the story of the RMS Titanic.

Praise for Eyes Like Lighthouses When the Boats Come Home:

“Recommended for those who enjoy poetry, or just want some honest language that arrives in an artful way.” – J. D. DeHart

“Dane Cobain gives us raw, disturbing, yet truthful poetry. It may be a bit disturbing, but sometimes the truth can be disturbing.” – Chrissy

“I highly recommend this book for fans of spoken word poetry.” – Jeremy Fee

Oceanus features the talents of Umer Shaikh on the cover design, and the paperback also includes illustrations by Kadir Türkegül (illustrations).

I chose to release it today because it’s the 111th anniversary of the Titanic’s fateful collission with the iceberg, and it’s available in both paperback and ebook formats. You can find out more about it on Amazon and on Goodreads.
