Eyes Like Lighthouses is Dane Cobain's first book of poetry, distilled from the sweat of a thousand memorised performances in this reality and others. It's not for the faint-hearted. I've never seen anyone do a stream of consciousness piece as talented as that. Very impressed." - Mark Allard-Will, author of Saskatch-A-Man and co-founder of Cuckoo's Nest Press "Dane's poetry is a multi-layered spiral of the macabre, quirky humour and disjointed imagery. Not only does he make you think, he captures the small forgotten moments of everyday life." - Nikki Dudley, co-editor of Streetcake Magazine ...[Dane] combines concrete detail with socioeconomic concerns." - Lorna Wood, associate editor of Gemini Magazine.
