BOOK SUMMARY:
In a society obsessed with surface and symmetry, who gets to feel beautiful - and who is left behind?
In this raw and resonant collection, Stephen Daniels invites readers into a world of vulnerability, self-doubt, and unexpected courage. Blending searingly honest poetry with his own illustrations, Daniels creates a deeply personal landscape where identity is questioned, masculinity is dismantled, and beauty is redefined on human, not aesthetic, terms.
Each poem is both confession and confrontation - a mirror held up not only to the poet, but to the reader. And with each image, Daniels adds texture and depth, turning words into an experience you can see and feel.
Both intimate and universal, tender and unafraid, this book speaks to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider looking in - and offers a quiet, powerful reminder that real beauty lives far beyond the mirror.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
To whom it may concern,
My name is Stephen Mott Daniels, Sr aka Esteban. I am a 74-year-old veteran who has been an artist for the past 70 years. I recently realized that I have accumulated over 5000 images of my art and want to share my visions with the world. Although the overall theme represents Halloween, I believe my illustrations represent something more. Who we are when we take our masks off.
My vision is to open our minds up to what is the inevitable. I want to diversify my brand as much as possible. Posters, apparel, cups, and books are some of the possibilities. I have attached a sample of my work hoping that you can share in my visions.
I realize this is a long shot. One never knows unless one tries.
