I first discovered Dan through his Instagram videos and immediately fell in love with his poetry. Listening to the audiobook was an unforgettable journey—his words flow straight to the heart and touch the deepest corners of the soul.
Dan’s gift lies in his rare ability to craft verses that not only inspire, but also allow countless readers—myself included—to see their own reflections within them.
I truly loved the entire book, yet I must say: “Juliette” is breathtaking as a song, but the poetry woven throughout these pages leaves an impression that lasts forever.
In addition, the audiobook includes thoughtful questions and direct interviews with Dan, offering a glimpse into his life and the stories behind his verses. This personal touch makes the experience even richer and more intimate.
Thank you, Dan, for sharing your gift with the world. So many of us find ourselves in your words, and I cannot wait to see where your poetry takes us next.

I listened to this book on audiobook and it was a treat! I have followed Dan’s work on IG and YouTube for quite a while now. So it’s no surprise that I know I’m definitely going to enjoy his debut poetry book!
There’s a bonus interview with him at the end of it too. It’s nice to get a glimpse of who he is as a person and also to find out more about the method behind his craft. I highly recommend it!
