Where the Glass Meets the Sun (ePub)

In Daniel Escobar's second book of poetry and prose, he shifts into a more mature tone than the one he created in From the Ashes as he releases his most vulnerable work to date. Where the Glass Meets the Sun is broken down into four sections, chronicling his childhood as a child of immigrants and as an immigrant himself - writing letters of love and pain to his family and his country, both old and new - and his struggles as he came to terms with his sexuality and came out as gay in his teenage years. He evolves through the book and reveals more layers as he allows us a deeper peek into his mind, like a diary laid bare for all to read. Born from the pause and reflection that the COVID pandemic caused the world, this is an experience of love, faith, hope and most of all, the exploration of the self and the immense growth in mind, body, and soul that came with the last 3 years. The pages are peppered inspirational and hopeful messages, mixed in with midnight thoughts, reminiscing friendships and relationships, and finishing off with what could only be described as love letters - diving deeper into his heart after meeting his husband and getting to know what a healthy relationship is supposed to be.
Where the Glass Meets the Sun peels back the curtains that were leftover in his life and shines a light on the world he wants you to see, through his eyes.
