Link to Dan Grossman’s book American Panoramas Beyond 360° Poems, Prose and Photography:
Dan Grossman took his first panoramic photo with Galaxy S9 at the Tijuana Beach—Las Playas—on a visit in July 2023. He stood near the border fence, held his Galaxy S9 phone horizontally, and started to spin. He followed the nodal line in the viewfinder, the guide meant to keep the camera level but kept turning well beyond 360 degrees. The resulting image of the border wall, doubling back on itself, turbocharged his imagination. The resulting image of the border wall, doubling back on itself, turbocharged his imagination. He would soon find a corollary for his images in his words.
Link to Dan Grossman’s book of poems Mindfucking Roundabouts of Carmel, Indiana: Poems and Short Prose, in paperback or ebook form on his LULU author spotlight page:
J.T. Whitehead, author of The Table of the Elements, on Mindfucking Roundabouts of Carmel, Indiana:“Dan Grossman navigates this highly recommended book like an 'uber' uber driver, picking up passengers who are Old Testament Prophets, ancient mystics, Americans with bad directions, French surrealists, and 21st century high school students, dizzying them and us along the way, as he takes his readers round and around and round again.”

I just published a revised edition of my book Soft Corps, which contains poems based on my experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Niger, West Africa from 1992-1994. A dozen or so of these poems have been published in various literary magazines over the years.
