The Whole Existential Novel

The awakening began in a small grove of black oak trees on Collins Street in Fort Worth, Texas. Then the road wound around a few stops in other towns and cities of Texas, Zapata, Del Rio, and finally ending with radio days in Space City. Under summer fog and the strong lure of Berkeley, Dane Ince came west to study fine art and acting and to write ever so occasionally. Personal tragedy and the pandemic focused the artist's mind and hundreds of poems have resulted along with special online programming events on Facebook, the most recent event being a poetic gathering of writers from around the world in support of Ukraine. Dane Ince is an internationally published poet, hosts a weekly open mic "Time to Arrive", Beat Poet Laureate for California 2022-2024, and publisher at EYEPUBLISHEWE.COM. His first collection of poetry was published in October 2022 titled "The Whole Existential Novel; The Journey from the Darkside of the Rainbow to Satchidananda"
