Bearded Bard Ale 'n Age

By Dan Teolis

This collection of poetry captures a raw, transitional year in the life of Dan Teolis, beginning in the precarious aftermath of a second psychotic episode. Written throughout 2003, the verses document a young adult navigating the "liminal space" between jobless isolation and the grounding stability of a new career in contract painting. The narrative arc moves from a haze of daily substance use and shared living to the tactile reality of painting student residences, all while grappling with the existential dread of cigarette addiction. Ultimately, these poems serve as an intimate exploration of a mind under construction, seeking direction and recovery through the steady rhythm of manual labour.
