Delaney, the Original Thinking Dog
(1968-1972)
"Some may think I named the dog after myself.
But that would be wrong.
The fact is, I named myself after the dog."
Welcome to The Thinking Dog. My name is D.D. Delaney,
and I am the creator and main contributor to this site, with the exception of Jala Magik’s page. Jala, an artist and
writer, is my life-long partner and displays some of her art work and writings from her unpublished Book of Magik on her page.
On the other pages you will find information on my published articles
and books of plays and poems as well as samples of my various writings. Since I am also a performer, I have devoted
a “Performances” page to describe material I have in my repertoire, available for booking at your club, school,
organization, or facility.
In the “Articles and Reviews” section you will find
references to past published work as well as occasional new material that I want to share.
“Thinking Dog's Journal” is meant for reflections
on current events, both locally in the Hampton Roads, VA, area, where I live, and nationally, as information comes my way
that seems relevant to a general public.
There is also a page introducing myself in a brief biography,
and a page with contact information, should you want to communicate with me directly. I also have three blogs, The Thinking Dog's Journal, where I occasionally post articles and commentary; Thinking Dog Reviews, where I post critical reviews of theater productions and other cultural events in Hampton Roads, and Thinking Dog Poetry, where I occasionally post an original poem I want to share. I also have a YouTube channel, Thinking Dog Videos, with a growing collection of various readings and short performances.
I hope you find our online materials both enlightening and entertaining.
Thanks for stopping by.
D.D. Delaney
