Ari Alkalay Appel reviews Child With A Swan’s Wings by Daniel Shapiro in Boston Area Small Press and Poetry Scene. Daniel Shapiro is also the author of The Red Handkerchief, and Woman at the Cusp of Twilight.
“Daniel Shapiro’s poetry collection, Child with a Swan’s Wings, is full of delectable little poems like “White Standard Poodle,” “Almost Haiku,” “Arte Poética,” and “Street of Chameleons,” and darker, yet equally beautiful poems like “Providencia” and “Solitude” which come together to form a remarkable collection. As a whole, the volume masterfully portrays the author’s relationship with language, with poetry, and with his content, which does not fall short of encapsulating the universe itself.” (read more here)
