Synopsis

Dan's curiosity as a poet takes him to the ends of the universe in search of rare moments of clarity. In the end, the exercise of writing itself creates its own reality. In poem after poem, he confronts a glimmering mirror filled with fear and hope. He writes, "We can never let a metaphor fall alone because, if we did, the metaphor would pull us all down. If the poet wishes to bear in his body the tragedy of mankind, he must elevate mankind's spirit. After all, our brief lives are at best momentary insights into something Eternal". In April of 2008, he published his first novel entitled "Faces". Filled with fictional memoir, this spiritual novel attracted a wide ranging audience of thoughtful readers. Encouraged by this response, he pulled together some of his favorite poems and published "Delicate Miracles", this collection of songs, triplets, and narratives which he hopes will inspire and enrich the lives of his readers. As the artist Caitlin OCeallaigh-Walker wrote, "Those who read Dan's . . . novel will have noticed poetic passages in it that reveal the author's first calling. He is at heart a poet. This book fully proves it".

Biographie de l'auteur

Dan was born in the Collinwood Neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio in 1942. When he was four, his family moved to a country town known today as Willoughby Hills. As a child, he often roamed the countryside immersed in the outdoors, entranced by the changing seasons, the hidden valleys, and the expansive sunsets. After high school, he attended Asbury College, where he edited the college newspaper, earned a degree in English and History. He then moved on to Case-Western Reserve University where he completed his Master's Degree in 1966. After a stint at teaching and traveling, he joined the US Army, where he served in Texas and Vietnam. When he returned to the States, he briefly attended the University of Iowa; then, he moved to San Antonio where he married, settled down, and became an accountant, all the while continuously writing his poems. Shortly after his wife passed away in 1981, he moved back to Ohio, where he remarried and has a son, Mark. Today, he continues to open his heart on pages while he does less and less part time accounting.
