Alum Daniel Powell ('01) Explores Childhood in Fo(u)nd Memories
June 07, 2022
The stories explore childhood and growing up; family, both real and surrogate; memory; love; loss; and the uniquely human intersection of art, science, history, innovation, and imagination.
Daniel Powell '01 is releasing his second book, Fo(u)nd Memories, a story collection inspired by found photographs. The stories explore childhood and growing up; family, both real and surrogate; memory; love; loss; and the uniquely human intersection of art, science, history, innovation, and imagination.
Many of the characters in Fo(u)nd Memories are searching for a kind of earthly sacredness in—or in spite of—their fractured relationships, worlds, or selves, revealing Powell’s fascination with not only the fissures in our lives but with the beauty and possibility present in the brokenness.
His first book, the children's novel Paper Birds and Other Flying Objects, was published in 2021.
