MUSICAL MEDITATIONS -
NEW BOOK OF POEMS BY DONEL
A collection of poems in the tradition of Amiri Baraka and Langston Hughes
New book Musical Meditations released today by Genuine Press Productions. This book explores the depths of the soul, of love, of personal demons, of industrialized society as it weaves through both the beauty and the horror that are tugging on our collective psyche and consciousness.
The title poem Musical Meditations is featured in Donel’s new play A New Day that was featured this summer at the PortFinge Festival June 24-29th, and will also be appearing at the Chicago Fringe Festival August 28-September 7th, and the Boulder Internationl Fringe Festival September 17-28th.
“He’s like Junot Diaz mixed with Allen Ginsberg—telling the truth with the such a specific local voice you feel like you could recognize its speaker if he were walking down the street.” - Alexis Kozak, Director of Black Box of Asbury Park.
“Donel's Musical Meditations is an important new book of poems on the American scene.
The language is free, brave, at times fierce, often lyrical, and always truthful.” - Rich Quatrone, Founding Director of Playwrights on The Rise, and Founder of The American Poetry Theater.
Donel is a poet, playwright, musician, filmmaker, essayist, actor and revolutionary activist who has spent time playing in bands, community organizing, at Occupy Wall St, and living in the woods.
