This week we present poet Danny Strack. 

Danny Strack has been performing poetry live for over a decade. 

He holds slam championship titles at national, regional and city levels. What? Really? Yeah:

He is the Slammaster/Executive Director of the Austin Poetry Slam, and a five-time member / three-time coach of teams representing Austin at Nationals. The author of 10 full length books of poetry, Danny's performance oriented work is frequently used by students in forensics competitions.

Danny is also a juggler and playwright associated with the Sky Candy Aerial Circus Arts School and has written two fully produced and well-received plays ("The Time Machine" in 2012 & "The Circus" in 2013), as well as his debut show with Smoke and Mirror's Cabaret in 2010, "Carnivalesque", which was also a great success as one of the first shows to premiere at Austin's HighBall.
