This fourth collection of free verse from poet Daniel Clara includes the beautiful artwork of his collaborator and brother Julio Zaldivar. Together, the pair fuse words and pictures to produce a collection of photographs and poetry that connect and reflect the work in each discipline. The partnership shows a true synergy between the words and the images to present the reader with an ecclectic, insighftul and unusual journey into familiar places and difficult subjects.

This collection of free verse poetry centers on relationships--how they are built, carried and occasionally lost. The Slow Wheel Toward Morning is a look at how we see ourselves and how we perceive we are seen by others. The poet's challenge is to rectify the two views without losing the value of each as they are.

The second collection of poetry by Daniel A. Clara, The Poet and the Beat is the writer's inner monologue as he considers the modern world and middle age. Drawing form and inspiration from the works of lauded poets Charles Bukowski and e.e. cummings, Daniel A. Clara finds his voice again as he wrestles with love, anger and reflection and the lessons that accompany mid-life experiences.

So, the next collection of works from poet Daniel A. Clara, finds the author considering the state of things in the world as they unfold in the twenty-teens.
