In confronting the line, it appears the only freedom is in ignoring it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eExploring creativity, personal evolution, and complimentary opposites, this collection expresses the malleable human spirit as the poet comes to a metamorphic conclusion about their life and art. Slipping away from drawn lines and what they represent, Dorman also makes a statement in support of a visual poetry that is both meaningful and active on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eDan Dorman is a visual poet based in Northeast Ohio. He holds an MFA in creative writing and wanders as a freelance teacher. A list of previous publications can be found at his website, dandorman.com\/publications.
