You can also watch a trailer of the book based on the poem "The Wait" here.

“Daniel Bowman Jr.’s poetry is as American as Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson and Chief Seattle blended in the prairies and lakes and mountains and the passion of the American spirit, from New York across the wide land. It is always human and it sings splendidly, rich in animistic mystery. I delight in these poems. Bowman has a great big heart and finds himself home in the lyrical brotherhood.”

"I want to be an artist who does not look away, who honors the messy real."

It's a delight to read Daniel Bowman Jr.'s personal essay "Dancing in Fields of Wheat and Chaff" about The Glen Workshop, now up at Art House America. The essay ends with this beautiful image:

I tried to dance. Awkward and unsure, I judged the other imperfect souls in the circle. Then I closed my eyes and listened. I stopped trying to dance, to be in control, and just did it, just danced. Just celebrated everything, wheat and chaff. I danced for a long time. Later I reached up to wipe the sweat from my forehead, surprised by a handful of oil.

When was the last time you were surprised by 'a handful of oil' on your forehead?
