Forgive the ridiculous accents and antics, but these two have clearly been friends for a while. Daniel Botello is a versatile writer, not only dabbling but fully investing himself in his poetry, playwriting, and music. Along with touring solo through the United States performing his own music, he's also published, produced and performed his own plays as well as continued to perform his poetry and share it visually through social media. In this two-part episode, Daniel and our host discuss writing disciplines, artistic philosophies, inspiration, and how to write when you're happy. The pieces that Daniel shares today are as follows, with more poetry to come during part two:

1) "The Water’s Too High, She Says" 

2) "Jellybean" or "Languages Before You"
