Autorenporträt

F. Daniel Brackett, my friend for over thirty years, is a poet and storyteller who grew up in a farming village in rural Belize and presently resides in the United States. Early in his life, Brackett began memorizing selections from the works of such Belizean poets as Leo Bradley and Ray Barrow; but he also recited poems from the works of British and American writers such as William Cowper, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes among others. Throughout high school, and while taking classes at the University of Minnesota, Brackett captivated audiences by reciting poems for them. He has spoken before thousands of people in several countries including Belize, Canada, the United States and Mexico; at political public meetings and conventions, at schools and churches, and at youth rallies. Besides reciting poems, giving speeches and telling stories, Brackett delights in getting together with family and friends on special occasions, where humor and good food are appreciated. He enjoys fine dining which includes a porterhouse steak, but he wouldn't pass up a hot dog stand in Mexico, nor gravy on his fries when in Canada. Drawing from his life experiences and fictionalizing them, Brackett has written many poems on a variety of topics. He has decided to publish a book of these poems, thereby sharing them with the world. >Clarence Lindon Hulse
