Dan the Mauerpark poet at Schulz

by Schulz Hotels

We meet Dan in front of the Schulz Hotel on the East Side Gallery. Dan has been writing poetry for about 10 years.

In May 2016 Dan started his career as an action artist in Mauerpark in Berlin.

Three words from passerby are the basis for his poems. Dan got the idea from a friend, who doesn't create poetry but drawings.

Since Dan started writing in the US, his poetry was initially only in English. Since some people do not speak English, he decided to write in German as well.

On sunny "good" days, 30 to 50 poems are written. In winter in the snow it's more like just one thing.

Dan can now make a living from his art. His first book was published by Periplaneta Verlag.

The book contains not only poems, but also stories about various encounters with people. One story is about a man who thought he was God.

You can find Dan's book in the Schulz Library or in bookstores.
