Synopsis

DAAN! is a collection of unpretentious poems about everyday life, love, and loss. About mental health, nature, cats, and much more.

 

It shows the joys, the pain, the struggles, and the victories of a chronically ill wheelchair user.

 

DAAN! shows us that poetry does not have to be stuffy, but can be anything from whimsical and vibrant to sad and profound.

 

Whether it's free verse, a ghazal, pantoum, or triolet, an American cinquain, four and twenty, Kerouac haiku, or an American sentence, Katz puts his own unique spin on every poem he writes, no matter its form.

About this title

About the Author

Daan Katz was born in 1963 in The Hague, the Netherlands, where he also spent the first fifteen years of his life.

From a very young age, Daan has been enchanted by stories. When immersed in his books, Daan would forget everything else. The real world would cease to exist, and there was only the imaginary world, with his imaginary friends, who would continue to speak to him long after he'd finished reading the book.

Given his love for stories, it was only natural for him to start writing his own as soon as he realised that he could. From there, poetry was a logical next step.

As for Daan's private life, that is just that. Private.
