Author Description

A seasoned poet, Dah, gifts us with his masterful, yet highly philosophical perceptions. His resplendent, artful pieces, cover such a breadth of his skillful work, that one is hard pressed to define the works singularly. Dah writes with beauty and clarity on the esoteric, ethereal and spiritual manifestations of the soul, the stark realities of the disenfranchised, the aged, the homeless, the bereaved and captures the sensuality of love and sexual passion. His work is reminiscent of the paintings of Auguste Renoir; the earthy brushstrokes gain greater clarity from a distance. You must stand back from each piece and look at the magnitude of its entirety. Any lover of poetry will relate to these beautiful works, which overall is breath-taking. In the poem, titled, ¿Death,¿ I was struck by this disturbing yet truthful line.¿What does it matter that we are born into death¿s womb, waiting to be delivered¿Such are the works of Dah. Prophetic, beautiful and dreamlike, reminding me of Dance at the Moulin de la Galette, by Renoir. There is so much to be rediscovered, over and over, within two covers. A refreshingly classic collection of work, a joy to behold.Brenda-Lee Ranta, author of A Soul Passenger
