- [Elegy in 5 Lines: A Little Lament](https://daankatz.com/elegy-in-5-lines-a-little-lament/): Poems don’t need to be long to be impactful. My elegy in 5 lines shows how much a poet can do with just a few well-chosen words. But first, let’s answer this question: what is an elegy? In modern English literature, the elegy is a poem dealing with death and grief, but that wasn’t always the case. Have a look at this quote from the from the Encyclopædia Britannica: ‘In classical literature an elegy was simply any poem written in the elegiac metre (alternating lines of dactylic hexameter and pentameter) and was not restricted as to subject. Though some classical […]
- [New Book Covers in a Different Key](https://daankatz.com/new-book-covers-in-a-different-key/): Confession: I’ve been stalling. It wasn’t writer’s block. Not exactly, but even so, I didn’t feel like working on the next book in the ‘Curse of the Fathers’ series. And I couldn’t figure out why. So I wrote other things. A novella. Short stories. Poetry. Anything but that book. Because something felt off. And it wasn’t until I finally figured out what, that I was motivated to work on that story again.  But… Fantasy vs Facts Just having the will to work on that story didn’t mean I could immediately jump back into the actual writing again. First, I needed […]
- [True Romanticism: Romance Without Roses](https://daankatz.com/true-romanticism-romance-without-roses/): I am the least romantic person on Earth.  At least, that’s what I thought, and by modern standards, that is certainly the case, but true romanticism isn’t the same as romance. Sincerity, vulnerability, and emotional truth: the courage to feel. Those are the key characteristics of historical Romanticism.  I’m Not a Romantic (At Least, Not the Kind You Think) Roses are red,violets are blue,sugar is sweet,and causes tooth decay. I’ll admit it: I’m an aromantic brute who doesn’t care one bit for roses, diamonds, signet rings, tie pins, or handcrafted knives. Though I will admit to appreciating a good glass […]
- [Turning Grief into Language: Writing a Bilingual Elegy](https://daankatz.com/turning-grief-into-language-writing-a-bilingual-elegy/): Sat at my father’s bedside as he lay dying, I didn’t say to myself, ‘come, let’s write a bilingual elegy’, yet the words came to me, unbidden.  clad in compassion death arriveda nebulous presence patientsoft as the whispered autumn breezetwirling through semi-sheer curtains Clearly, I did not want to devote these precious last hours with my father to poetry, so I quickly jotted those lines down, knowing I’d come back to them later. Now was the time to simply be fully present—even as my father was already drifting away.  Writing Through Grief Grief, if we should believe Hollywood, is a […]
