A poet more like a prophet, with a message that stirs our values at the core, Dan Coppersmith pierces our skin-deep culture going straight to the heart and soul with words that inspire us to greatness.

The Seeds of Greatness

The Elusive Here & Now
As Reviewed in the Holistic Networker:

I have known Dan Coppersmith and enjoyed his poetry for many years. Dan writes from a deep place about life: fear, joy, shame—being human. His words will touch you and bring you to tears, if you let them.

Dan's first book, The Elusive Here & Now, brings together his sensitive poetry and his stunning nature photography. Each alone, the photos or the poems, would make a lovely book. By bringing them together, Dan has composed a masterpiece. This book feels good, and looks good. The craftsmanship and quality of work in all aspects: words, photos, typography, design, and layout, make this book a joy to own and a joy to give as a gift.

Maybe you've felt that you just "don't get" poetry, that it's too intellectual or confusing. Then this book is certainly for you. The Elusive Here & Now makes for joyful reading, again and again.

Dan's poetry, like any great teaching, is easily understood. His words remind us that when we step back from acting as self-absorbed ego beings, then we discover that peace, joy, and happiness are our natural expressions.

A small yellow flower. A moss covered rock. A bright red ladybug. Even nature at its simplest has the power to awe. Such is the nature of Dan Coppersmith’s poetry. Deceptively simple in style, his message is deeply profound. It not only has the power to change the way you look at life, it has the power to change the way you live your life. Thank you, Dan, for the wisdom and the wonder of your words.

The words will make you think. The poems will make you feel, deeply. It will calm and delight you. You will feel better about yourself and the world you live in. You will feel more alive and connected to the world around you. The captivating nature photography, which complements each poem, takes you to an even deeper and more profound peace than words alone could. You will want to keep this book close, perhaps by your bed, to taste and ponder as you drift off to sleep. You will want to share it with those you love.

It is very difficult reading your book. My eyes keep leaking and my nose starts to run and it makes me THINK.

I got the book, and I’ve started reading it. Reading it? I don’t know if that’s the right expression. I’ve started eating it is better. It’s delightful! Deceptively simple, which is a good indication that it is clear, from a clear place. Speaking of a clear…the photos are strikingly clear. What kind of camera do you use? I’m not a photographer, but I might take it up.
