Cast Off

Daniel’s work is sure to engage the enlightened reader.Here’s what two advance readers have to say about his work:

Daniel Simon’s collection Cast Off offers the reader a remarkable fusion of poems that explore the magic of place and travel the love of family and the mystery of creativity. Each poem included in this collection stands by itself and has the extraordinary ability to present a world with a unique originality.

Daniel Simon has given us the gift of a poetic imagination rich in soul and in craft.

—Marjorie Agosín, Wellesley College

Daniel Simon’s poems smuggle messages between the old world and the new, between literary sophistication and the fresh moment. Crossing borders, piercing memory, translating enigma to graceful words, honoring the worthy among the lost, Simon offers consolation in a difficult world: “the true religion of making do and getting by.”

—Kim Stafford, author of 100 Tricks Every Boy Can Do: How My Brother Disappeared
