Where the Glass Meets the Sun (2023)
Where the Glass Meets the Sun is Daniel Escobar’s second collection of poetry and prose—a deeply personal and luminous follow-up to From the Ashes. With a more mature voice and an unflinching vulnerability, Daniel invites readers into the layered chapters of his life: from his early experiences as a child of immigrants, to the tender reckoning of his sexuality, to the healing that emerged in the stillness of a global pause.
Structured in four evocative sections, this book reads like an open diary—filled with letters of longing and gratitude to his family, his culture, and the two countries that shaped him. Woven between reflections on faith, identity, and resilience are poems that feel like prayers, love notes, and conversations under moonlight. These pieces trace his evolution from internal struggle to self-acceptance, culminating in a profound exploration of love—especially the kind discovered through his relationship with his husband.
Raw yet radiant, Where the Glass Meets the Sun is an invitation to witness transformation in real time. It’s a journey through memory and becoming, a love letter to growth, and a quiet reminder that even in our darkest hours, light finds a way through.
