Daniel Swinton has always been a storyteller – he made his first rap CD at 11 and hopes no one ever hears it. Through his poetry, he hopes to paint images that drip down the walls and get stuck in the back of your mind – reminding you of a place you once knew, but somehow forgot, and have been missing all the time. A cute way of saying, anything weird, uncanny, or spiritual, and how it lives and breathes in the everyday.
– See the APS Sydney Finalists compete for the crown of APS ‘26 Sydney Final Champion at the 2026 Sydney APS Final on 9 October at Impact Story Lab.
