Poetry written during a 10-year span of criss-crossing America in a roving-eye view of the turn-of-the-century landscape of Mythville, or, as the author puts it: "It's all a bunch of Mythville." With work from four separate books by Arizona-based author and poet Douglas McDaniel, the bard-inspired voices of Milton, Blake and Yeats, as well as the saturnine streak of early beat poesy, ring through this collection of poems and essays. From the southwestern deserts to the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, "Many Moons to Mythville" is a foot-to-the-floor blast through the mythical roads of American life.

This project started during the massive Bull Run Fire in 2006 in the mountains of central Arizona, and led to a series of serial moves around the West: to Oregon, then back to Arizona. It took on full steam when, out of boredom, the author mused away the long summer hours while working behind the cash register of a big box book store, and then was kept aflame as McDaniel toiled as a reporter in Telluride, Colorado, as the poetic side of the author quietly pursued the hot currents and savage storms of his life, both interior and exterior, culminating in an attempt to catch up to the harsh polarities of the 2008 election season in Denver. Always intended as words to be performed, beat style, this is McDaniel's nod to the greats of the Beat Generation with a message of hope, despite the times.

Challenged by the strange currents and savage storms of his life, author Douglas McDaniel captures an apocalyptic age of turmoil that began with the election of George W. Bush in 2000 and an oddly coincidental solar storm occurring in New England. This personal narrative leads all of the way through eight years of disaster on the North American continent. It is a “living novel” and commentary on life during wartime, on strange weather and social chaos … a rave and borderline blog by one man trying to stay ahead of the wave during a new century spinning out of control.

Douglas McDaniel is publisher of Mythville.com. In past lives, he has served as editor for such national magazines as the Robb Report, Access Internet Magazine and The Diamond, an official publication for Major League Baseball. His literary efforts includes several books of poetry, including “The Road to Mythville,” which is available at iUniverse.com, “Ipswich at War,” and the “The Kachina’s Son.” His poetry has been published in a number of baseball literary journals, including “Spitball,” as well as such Web sites as Troikamagazine.com. Several poems can also be found in an anthology, “Baseball and the Literary Life,” put out by Birch Brook Press, New York. “Human Search Engine,” part of the series that began at Disinfo.com and G21.net as the Mythville Project, is the third book in a series that also begins with “The Bog In the Hole Where the Animals Fell,” leads to "Godz, Cars & Cannon," then, "Human Search Engine" and "William Blake in Cyberspace," and ends with the most recently released, “Glasnost Lost.” The first three works of what Mr. McDaniel calls “speculative non-fiction” are also compiled in a single book: "23 Roads to Mythville." In 1995, he released two new books, "One Quarter Now, One-Click Wars to Come," which is a collection his most recent essays on contemporary culture, and a new book of poetry loosely based on his experience with pedestrian lifestyle in automobile-mad Phoenix, Arizona, "Angel of the Avenues." McDaniel is currently lives in Arizona.
