Dane Ince

Dane Ince grew up in Texas and travelled to California to study art. He was looking for love then and many decades later he found his forever home in love with his co-author. The awakening began in a small grove of black oak trees on Collins Street in Fort Worth, Texas. Then the road wound around a few stops in other towns and cities of Texas: Zapata, Del Rio, and finally ending with radio days in Space City. Under summer fog and the strong lure of Berkeley, Dane Ince came west to study fine art and acting and to write ever so occasionally. Personal tragedy and the pandemic focused the artist's mind and hundreds of poems have resulted along with special online programming events on Facebook, the most recent event being a poetic gathering of writers from around the world in support of Ukraine. Dane Ince is an internationally published poet, hosts a weekly open mic "Time to Arrive," Beat Poet Laureate for California 2022-2024, and publisher at EYEPUBLISHEWE.COM

Book preview

The Whole Existential Novel: The Journey from the Dark Side of the Rainbow to Satchidananda, is a collection of poetry by Dane Ince that explores the human condition in all its beauty, ugliness, and complexity. The poems in this collection take the reader on a journey from the dark side of the rainbow to the light of Satchidananda, the Hindu concept of pure consciousness

Ince's poetry is raw, honest, and unflinching in its exploration of the human experience. He writes about love, loss, joy, sorrow, and everything in between. His poems are both deeply personal and universal, and they speak to the heart of what it means to be human.

The Whole Existential Novel is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt lost, alone, or afraid. Ince's poems offer hope and inspiration, and they remind us that we are all connected in the grand scheme of things.

I have heard few other poems with as much depth and honesty and skill in connecting us with the true ravages of grief.

My hand touched this page of paper now

To leave behind a testament

A record, an artifact

A rose pressed between the pages of the book of our lives
