organized labor: collected poems

by Daniel P. Quinn (Creator)

These poems reflect a wide range of interests in my life and work. In many ways they share a public and private persona; both evocative and in some cases provocative view of life in our time. The early work is lighter and more whimsical in nature while the later work shares a darker view of reality. Some are meant others seen on the page as artworks. Some references are musical Mozart, Paganini, Berlioz, Joplin; others writers Poe, Melville, and artists like Van Gogh. Music has had a profound impact on my life creative and interesting ways.
l am always grateful for the Flora Higgins at the Newark Library,  Co-Tech & Newscribes for publishing much of this work. Edward Bond, Olympia Dukakis and Leo Buscaglia encouraged me to keep writing.
