Through fresh and often funny twists on both free and formal verse, Daniel Klawitter serves up a juicy cornucopia of superb sound, subtle spirituality, and refreshing silliness. The poet's distinctive blend of both deep wisdom and hilarious insight linger in every delicious, well-crafted line. \"Read on and be amazed...\" he says-and we are. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy Roulier Sawyer, author of Tongues of Men and Angels \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Klawitter's outlook, at once revolutionary and theological, contains hope that, yes, we can improve our lot. It is how he can write a poem in dedication to the El Salvador Martyrs but still embrace a \"foolosophy\" that delights in the wonders of nature like a latter-day Saint Francis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Karl Wolfe, The Driftless Area Review \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Klawitter's delight in the sounds of words and in indulging his quirky imagination is infectious. He clearly had a good time writing the poems in Quiet Insurrections, and his readers will have a good time reading them. But Klawitter's sense of play is not only humorous. \"A Flock Made Flesh\" and \"At the Franciscan Retreat Center, Colorado Springs,\" for instance, employ startling metaphysical conceits. There are poems here to draw the reader in to discover, in Klawitter's words, \"the poem behind the poem.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Luke Stromberg, Assistant Director of the West Chester University Poetry Conference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong other things, Daniel has been an actor, a labor rights activist, the lead singer\/lyricist for the Indie rock band Mining for Rain, and a poetry book reviewer for NewPages.com.
