The Portrait "Unspoken Thoughts"The poetry of Daniel "Dante" Bello is a revelation: brave, honest, angry, intimate and full of passion. These poems burn with clarity and born of experiences with my growth in life, vivid and tactile as I transcend from the later into the new me. Dante...These poems are collections of journeys, moments and transition from boyhood into manhood hence I insist on the unique elements of humanity and my identity in the same breath, as I grow up daily to full maturity in all spheres of life declaring my own truth, legacies, beliefs and identity in alignment to the beautiful soul I have become. The portrait I paint is not only complete, but painfully accurate, powerful, bold, unapologetic and poetic."The portrait" is a continuation of "Colours of My Life", my first book of poetry and hence this translates into the new space I am in, in the arena of my poetic space, the poet, the author, the man "Dante", the immigrant, the hustler, the lover, the father to be, the husband to be, the unborn child I yearn to mentor someday.Here you will find sonnets and odes, rhythmic elements, truth, and words in praise of the man I have become, the enlightened part I have taken, the new journey I am about to enter and the echoes of my poetic ancestors in the sands of time. "This is a memorable, fresh, unique, new and timely for my generation".Dante "De Poetic Soul".
