THE WRITER
About Me
Dan Akasobi is a poet of uncommon instinct whose unconventional style joins philosophical rigor with spiritual depth. A former clinical adjunct and the author of several collections, he writes with disciplined attention to thought, family, faith, and the inner lives of the vulnerable. Distinguished by unorthodox religious insight and a singular gift for linguistic invention, his work has defined an intellectual terrain his readers call Danism. He lives in New York.

04THE IDEAS
A WAY OF THINKING
Open mind.
Clear reason.
Human duty.
Think openly.
Dannism calls for an open mind, clear reasoning, and a willingness to question what is accepted simply because it is familiar.
Keep human warmth.
Otuism places human warmth and connection at the heart of living, recognising the importance of affection, tenderness, and our bonds with one another.
Let belief meet action.
Faith is responsibility. Thought becomes meaningful when it informs what we do, how we treat others, and the duties we accept.
