PRAISE
"It makes me happy to know that Grapefruit and Snowman are out there somewhere looking for dandelions." -Albert Birney, creator/director of Tux & Fanny
"A play made of a series of surreal and juicy short scenes, like a cloth bag full of beautiful marbles. Two friends, at times at odds and at times in sync, explore their world through play. Contains the lofty and low things in life; children’s wisdoms and adults’ sillinesses." -Laura Knetzger, author of Bug Boys
“I love these plays. The beauty of them is that not only are they for children, they do the miraculous job of positioning a reader of any age as the a child once again, or allowing the child they are that is still inside them, to be talked to by way of Dalton Day’s poem plays. It is a joy to have the curiosity, grace, and love of and for the little or unseen worlds that swirl around the young, be honored in the way that Dalton’s work does, and offering up to us an invitation to return to places we have actually never left.” - Anis Mojgani, 10th Poet Laureate of Oregon, and author of The Tigers, They Let Me
