Words have always held magic for Roger Darnell. Ever since his mother challenged her young second son to use his knack for wordplay to make his mark on the world, he has aimed to make words count. Now a highly accomplished public relations professional and author, he’s helped countless rising entrepreneurs and luminaries succeed, and along the way, realized the need to tell his own story. Addressing that impulse led to his poetic memoir “Arc of the Poet,” which is now available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook editions through all major booksellers.
“Arc of the Poet” chronicles Roger’s early introduction to poetry, and his career ascent, where he connected meaningfully with global legends of entertainment, business, and literature through his eventful journey in the film and TV trades. As his setbacks, near-misses, and moonshots add up, his life focus intensifies. Through his poignant writing, many existential payoffs come to light, which are sure to inspire all those who dare to dream big.
Books can now be ordered on the author’s site (http://rkdarnell.com), where readers can also register for VIP updates, book giveaways, and exclusives. Roger has also released a new trailer for the book featuring a provocative new poem.
All in, with the best of luck, all joking aside,
becoming a poet is certain to deliver something.
Along the way, the deliverance remains unknowable
until finally revealed as mystical divination.
“My brother and I always had a wonderful example of the big-hearted, charming, optimistic communicator, in our mother, Lila,” Roger began. “She encouraged me and sparked my interest in poetry. At key times in my life, I felt I could become famous and accomplish all my personal ambitions as a poet. This book chronicles those efforts, which I sustained over decades. Among many lessons learned, I see now that writing has helped me succeed, grow, and take my appreciation for life’s gifts to higher levels.”
Featuring advance review commentary from scores of Roger’s lifelong mentors and collaborators, “Arc of the Poet” also includes a foreword written by his high school drama teacher, Leslie “Jinx” Caulfield. “Life is temporary,” he writes, “and details become more beautiful and profound when viewed through the eyes of a poet.”
“Arc of the Poet” is dedicated to many of the author’s family members and business associates, and, “To aiming high, stopping to smell the flowers, and sharing the gifts of life with loved ones and others we meet along the way.”
In 2021, Darnell published two companion trade books through Routledge/Taylor & Francis: “The Communications Consultant’s Foundation” and “The Communications Consultant’s Master Plan.” Together and separately, these highly rated books lead readers on life-changing journeys, with the goal of helping a new generation of smart communicators take their professional pursuits to the highest levels.
