“Walking Home”

Mentioned in Fiona Mulrooney’s article “Stories & poems perfect for study breaks.”

“Daniel Green’s ‘Walking Home’ was published in Quilt’s 2021 mini-zine, Threads. Sometimes, I cry just thinking about it. Green writes with an honesty you could cringe away from but with lure enough to make you stay. Creative nonfiction, “Walking Home” connects life events the same way you do: unknowingly, until the build breaks the dam.”

Tributes

“A powerful reflection on what we inherit and what we invent, Daniel Green’s ‘Ballad of a Thin Man’ offers a vivid, multi-sensory snapshot of family and loss, of masculinity and music that lingers with the reader long after the final page is turned.”

Sam McKegney, Professor and Department Head of English at Queen’s University

“It felt personal without getting too sentimental, and it focused emotion on objects and actions in the way the very best literature does. The return to the record player at the end was artful, but it felt so right. Your story was clearly accomplished, with a lot of thought put into the technique.”

Scott-Morgan Straker, Associate Professor and Undergraduate Chair of English at Queen’s University

“I was mesmerized.”
