Dan Wright

"Dan Wright's writing hits like a good friend updating you on the past few years after making eye contact in a moderately crowded bar in an industrial part of town. After sharing a hug that could pancake a Volvo, he sips a cheap beer beloved by the people of that bar. He opens himself up like a prognostic fish on a cutting board tired of Heraclitus's eternal river of sewage, but never willing to quit and always willing to take that fisherman's knife and tell the world, 'Thank you but I can do it myself '"-RC Patterson, author of Black Magic"If we didn't love America so much, we wouldn't hate America so much. That's the spirit of Dan Wright's Love Letters from the Underground. These poems are love letters to Americana, American dreams-some bygone, others that never existed-and a dying planet that could keep living were it not for human nature. Yet there is levity in the verse, and the book reads easy. At once a pessimistic optimist and a benevolent nihilist, Wright turns a critical yet ever-loving eye to planet and inhabitant, nation and citizen, home and self, in this maverick third full-length collection."-Kim Vodicka, author of The Elvis Machine"Dan Wright is not concerned with contemporary poetic conventions, he's not writing to an audience of lit mag editors, he's writing poems that speak to the people in his world. Wright takes us on the road with him, he takes us to bars, let's us listen in on his playlists of scratchy vinyl and stretched out cassette tapes. He puts us in Greyhound stations, NYC subway stations, the shotgun seat of another poet's Saturn. He takes us out to the world in the bad part of town, in the small towns invisible from the highway, lets us look at the Pacific through a Midwesterner's eyes. There is always movement and discovery and the occasional side-eye glance at the man behind the curtain who, as we all know, is there and that the bastard is a crook. All of these poems are visceral and immediate but contain dark beauty and harsh truth."-Shawn Pavey, author of Survival Tips for the Pending Apocalypse

The secret CIA papers that prove that the government has been tracking UFOs and extraterrestrials for over 50 yearsIn autumn 2016 the CIA sent to its website (www.cia.gov/library/readingroom) a cache of electronic files previously released under the Freedom of Information Act but housed at the National Archives. Among a variety of subjects were "unidentified flying objects." Finally, a stockpile of reports and correspondences were available for serious UFO researchers to examine at home. This book consists of selections from those secret files. Dan Wright spent 18 months selecting, editing, and organizing the 550 files that are relevant to UFO research and has produced a chronological collection of CIA documents spanning 1949 to 2000. Each chapter focuses on a particular year. The summary of documents for each year is followed by a section called "While You Were Away from Your Desk," which provides historical and cultural context for the document summaries and examines other sightings and contacts that are not mentioned in the CIA files. Among the fascinating tidbits are: A memo to J Edgar Hoover about flying saucer reportsThe 1949 conference at Los Alamos that include Edward Teller, upper atmosphere physicist Dr. Joseph Kaplan, and other renowned scientists in which the participants debated whether recent incidents were natural phenomena or UFO sightingsThis is a must-have book for those fascinated by the history of UFO sightings and those interested in government secrets and cover-ups.
