I m from India. I write poetry. Please suggest me how can I send my poetry to those magazines.

The collection sounds right up my alley. thank you for posting the interview

Loved this

So cool! I love collage and I'm looking for a bunch of collage books and want to art journal too. Your videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing!

Great recommendations. I would love to see more poetry collection recommendation videos!

Thanks for the recommendations. The Fire Eater's Lover has me intrigued. I think i will order that one. I don't really have any recommendations for you as I am just getting back into poetry after a long break from it. Mary Oliver has always been a favorite of mine but I want to branch out.

Hey Danne, great video, very informative. It is definitely nice to see what some of these journals look like and how they compare. Thanks!

Thanks for your commentary in this video and your previous collage books video. I appreciate getting the overview of the books and hearing your opinion of them.

Danne, your detailed analysis of each book is truly commendable. Among them, my personal favourite was "In Foreign Lands, Trees Speak Arabic" by Usama al-Shamani. Its poignant portrayal of the Iraqi refugee experience in Switzerland offered a unique and thought-provoking perspective, enriching my understanding of both the characters and the setting. For your next literary adventure in a similar vein, I'd suggest exploring "The Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives," edited by Viet Thanh Nguyen. This anthology features a collection of essays by refugee writers sharing their stories of displacement, resilience, and identity. It beautifully complements the themes of migration and cultural adaptation found in the books you've discussed, offering a rich and diverse tapestry of narratives to delve into.

i am a straight white working-class male, a world away from much of the themes in bright fear. but as a novelist and a lover of the word, i really bonded with this collection. an amazing book, and true inspiration.

What a delightful journey through the rich history of collage! Your enthusiasm for "Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage" shines through as you eloquently explore its depth and significance. It's refreshing to hear about a book that challenges the conventional narrative of collage history, tracing its origins back centuries and unveiling its diverse forms and influences. Your detailed description, coupled with your passion for the subject, makes me eager to dive into this captivating exploration of art and visual culture. Thank you Danne, for sharing your insights and recommendations!

What a wonderful and insightful video on journaling, Danne! 📓 It's fascinating to see your journey with journaling over the years and how it has evolved alongside you. Your tips and examples truly showcase the versatility and personal nature of journaling. As someone who used to journal regularly but has struggled to keep it up, your encouragement to buy some time for ourselves and embrace the relaxation it brings truly hit home for me. The idea of journaling as a form of care and love for our own lives is beautifully expressed. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights with us. Looking forward to more of your journaling adventures in future videos! 😊✨

Thank you for this video, Danne!!❤ I also have been journaling since I was 11 or 12 years old. There have been more active and less active periods of journaling in my life , but journaling has always been interesting for me. Do you journal every day? Do you have a specific time for it during the day ? Once again thank you for sharing. You videos are always interesting to watch. ❤

This was so great! Excited to see more reading videos from you. Vlogs or reviews. I love reading, and I always have several on the go at once. I recently joined an online book club and that's fun too, to add a social component. Also I appreciated your reflection on how you started- I was indeed one of the lucky early readers but my eldest son has struggled enormously to gain his ability to read - though of my three he loves books the most! I think it's important to normalize that narrative... That it's worthwhile to keep going and that there needs to be more resources for others. One of the biggest influences on my son's reading was this peer support his school put together - a student from the grade above spent time reading with him and this really engaged and encouraged him. Anyways! Wishing you many wonderful books ahead ✨

What a thoughtful and reflective video! Your discourse on your reading journey resonates deeply with me, particularly your candid reflection on how life circumstances and mental well-being can impact our reading habits. I, too, find solace and joy in books. However, like you, I occasionally find myself ensnared by other distractions. I decided to quit social networking sites when the virus struck, as the volume of comments became daunting rather than encouraging, leaving CZcams as the sole platform I find entertaining. Your strategies for prioritising reading once more are truly inspiring. The concept of setting intentions rather than rigid goals feels far more attainable and enjoyable. Moreover, your practical tips, from utilising audiobooks via your local library to curating a conducive reading environment, are both pragmatic and motivating. Your mention of acquiring a reading lamp particularly piqued my interest. It's remarkable how sometimes the most modest changes, like upgrading to a superior reading lamp, can significantly enhance our reading experience. Your vivid description of how it aids your focus and immersion in a book is compelling. It's something I hadn't considered previously, but now I'm contemplating acquiring one myself. I would absolutely relish the opportunity to see more reading vlogs from you! Your diverse reading tastes across various genres render your insights valuable and engaging. Furthermore, akin to you, I believe in the potency of sharing our reading journeys and strategies with others, fostering a sense of community and inspiration. Thank you for graciously sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. Your video has spurred me to reassess my own reading habits and to reintegrate reading as a more intentional aspect of my life. I eagerly anticipate your forthcoming content!

I don't understand collage, and am learning about it. I've never known about this form of artwork. Thank you for sharing your about your work. I loved your suggestions on some of your favorite books. Congratulations on your success. As a writer, the validation I get for my craft is sending my work out motivates me to keep going despite a yes or no. I'm enjoying your channel.

Hey there! Just wanted to swing by and let you know how much I loved your video. Your take on all sorts of books, from poetry to fiction and non-fiction, was a real treat to watch. I stumbled upon your channel not too long ago, and that book reviews video really grabbed my attention! 'Young Mungo' by Douglas Stuart, one of the books you chatted about, has piqued my interest. It's definitely going on my reading list. Even though finding time to read can be a bit of a challenge, I'm determined to get my hands on a copy. Keep up the awesome work, and thanks for spreading the joy of reading in this crazy world! PS: I've been diving into Adam Silvera's books lately and finding them super inspiring. What's your take on his work?

Hi! Which one do you recomend to start with? The new diary, Journal to self or Note to self?

Thank you for your book recommendations, mate! :)

thank you for these reviews Danne. i will definately see if i can get the 100 Queer Poems from my library.

Hi! Can i ask, how do you order the books for the reading room?

This looks fun, ducks, bikes and beautiful scenery too!

Thank you for sharing ❤

Thank you for the awesome and timely advice. I actually have trouble reading poetry (and that I still subscribed to your channel says a lot!) but my sister is a poetry fan and a writer. I'll definitely check out the books and my local bookstores - thank you, too, for the reminder. Have a wonderful holiday ! 💕📖✨️

So true! We see on a daily basis gorgeous illustrated journals on Pinterest or Instagram and that can be sooo intimidating for a beginner... Instead it's important to not focus on perfection but on our own personality and our own style, and just start! :) Your journals look great by the way!

Nice to meet you! perfect content! catch ya later, Poetology-=))

What a lovely channel packed with interesting videos :) I am interested in all sort of things, books, creativity, journal, london, dreams and poetry brought by everyday life, so happy to know your channel !

I'm obsessed with the cover of your Hobonichi planner, it's really beautiful! 😍 I've been debating if switching to Hobonichi this year for the past 2 months, but then I ended up buying a Leuchtturm because it fits my planning strategy better ☺ But it's so satisfying to see your unboxing! Greetings from a fellow journaler and stationery lover 😄🖌

Congrats! new sub here, thank you for sharing!

One of the best collage book videos for sure. Thanks so much for these recommendation

Yeah the stitching brings in so many possibilites

Thanks Danne, very interesting to see how you use this notebook, lots of food for thought. I am going to use a Hobo from January, switching into a roomier format from a Jibun Techo

Thank you for the video, Danne!❤ Yes, it would be great to hear more about your journalling process! I will also use Hobonichi Weeks and a Hobonichi techo for the coming year. I chose the original one, A6. I am also obsessed with notebooks. It is interesting to know your opinion about Yamamoto paper notebooks after you will have tried them. 😊 I have one in my collection as well, but it is still empty, waiting for the right time 😅

🎉 A heartfelt congratulations to you!! I’m new to your channel , just exploring collageand thoroughly enjoy your inspiration, your insights and your Art! I have shared your channel with other Artist friends. Being semi retired Jazz musician and composer, I know all about rejection 😊 but what is of the only importance is making a connection with empathetic hearts and souls! We old timers say, “Keep swinging, baby, just keep swinging! ”

I've been thinking of starting a poetic journal for over a year! Thanks for the nudge. 🙏

promo sm

This just came to me! What about a Duck Zine? I think if you could then print out copies, they could be sold. Just a thought. I’m a fan!

❤absolutely enjoyed this hilarious romp with your wonderful ducks! Many thanks! 😊

Formidable!! I’m thrilled I found your channel. Your approach is intuitive and I LOVE that. I’m a new sub. More more MORE! Thank you so much for all you do.❤

Many many thanks for your review! I am new to your site and just subbed. Currently I’m enjoying my copy of Cut That Out but Your suggestions I’m thrilled to check out. I’m a jazz musician and new to art but experiencing a second Spring through graphic arts. It has been life changing! Thank you for all you do! ❤

Hi Dan! I really appreciate this video. I was looking for some of Dr. Maisel's creativity coaching books (I'm taking a course with him right now) and pointing us to Routledge Publishing aided my quest greatly! (I even added the collage book to my WishList). Appreciate your comprehensive review of these books...and I'm glad I found your channel. 🙏

Loved the video, thank you for showing us the magazines!

I love the ducks on bikes. Here in the States there’s a National group called Dykes on Bikes. Ducks/Dykes. Anyway I really like your collages.

The ducks on motocycles are funny! A great idea for collage. What about some funny poetry? Something semi- ridiculous to accompany these ducks ?:)

Hey! I'm new here. I found your channel because of you poetry magazines video. I'd love to see more literary magazines videos 😊 I'd also like to know if you have any Spanish speaking favourite authors 🥰

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Danne, I very much love your videos reviewing collage books and books about journaling and writing. I discovered so many exciting titles thanks to your videos! :)

Hello Danne! Thank you for the video and thank you for asking. As to me , I am pretty much interested in collage and journalling. I loved your reviews of collage books and books on journalling!:) I 'd love to see more of your personal collage projects, if possible. Reviews of art books would be great, too. There is also one thing I 'd like to add - it is always a pleasure to listen to you , your voice and your pace of speaking do make watching your videos a very pleasant experience. Thanks again.
