About the Author

Dan Liberthson, PhD, born in Rochester, NY, now lives in San Francisco. He believes that telling a story and attention to the sound of the language are important for successful poems. His prior poetic books include Morning and Begin Again (2012), about ambiguity and ambivalence in life; Animal Songs (2010), which explores the powerful presence of animals in our lives; The Pitch is On the Way (2008), which considers what baseball means to its fans; and A Family Album (2006), about Dan's childhood in an American Jewish family with a schizophrenic sister. The latter three books are illustrated with photographs or drawings. The Golden Spider (2015) is a fantasy novel for children aged 9-14. All of these publications are available via Dan's website, liberthson.com.
