Books by Dan Joyce

My Invisible Disability is a series on poems and digital illustration with varied subject matter, but mainly written and designed to express the feelings and lifestyle of the mentally ill. With beautiful pictures for each poem, this book takes you through a descriptive poetic journey from iconic scenarios to flashes from my past.

Dan Joyce's "Bus Stop Talk" is a hilarious, unapologetic tour through a modern American city, spoken by a rowdy, cranky, philosophical voice, full of raw emotion and vibrant humor. Joyce's art leads you through stories of addiction and recovery, through galleries and bus stops, the art world and the endless hustle of the streets. Bus Stop Talk is a patchwork of wild conversations, rants and jokes, and a major new collection of Joyce's witty, provocative illustrations. They all collide with reflections on art and life, in this portrait of an artist wrestling with his vision and trying to find his place.

The War of the Soul is a story of a religious fanatic who fights a spiritual war with his world, in particular, a bullish rival he calls, the Other. It contains over 200 ink wash illustrations, all 150 psalms of the bible and 150 accompanying poems that tell the story.

In the summer of 1985, two middle aged male members of Alcoholics Anonymous walked into my father's home and promised him a better life and a better son. What they were to deliver him in the years to come proved no less short of a nightmare. Written in the speaking style of AA members such as saying God and swearing in the same sentence, this meditation spoof recalls my 30 years as a member of their program with light hearted memories, humor and regrets. Telling my story what it was like, what happened, what it's like now and what we could do differently. This illustrated book is also dedicated to my late father, the only member of my immediate family to pride my sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous One Horrid Day At A Time.
