The Red-Shoed Poet: Selected Poems

What if I told you that poetry can save lives?What if I told you that mental illness can be treated with other things besides a good doctor and medication?What if writing were that medicine?Daniel uses the written word to escape a mental illness that has plagued him throughout his life.Diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar as a teenager, Daniel turned to his last resort ... pen and paper.It was no cure, but gave him an outlet to express his pain.After many failed attempts of suicide, Daniel began to write and eventually found his voice.With poetry, it allowed him to reminisce and reflect on a life that has seen happiness, turmoil, love and loss.With pen in hand and a loving and caring support team, Daniel found poetry. And it saved his life.This is his fourth book of poetry.And he hopes you'll join him in the reading of this book!
