  That \"Barton Fink Feeling\"​ and the Fiery Furnace: The Book of Daniel and Joel and Ethan Coen's \"Barton Fink\"​

  This paper explores the use of the Book of Daniel in Joel and Ethan Coen's Barton Fink. While some critics have noted the film's \"apocalyptic” dimension

  and have even mentioned the movie's two explicit mentions of the Daniel story

  none has studied the close relationship between the biblical text and the film. This article argues that the Book of Daniel is central to the structure of Barton Fink

  by arguing that the movie both presents the crisis of Barton's visionary attempt to deliver both a dream and its interpretation (Dan. 2:5)

  and offers an apocalyptic \"cure” to correct his vision.

  That \"Barton Fink Feeling\"​ and the Fiery Furnace: The Book of Daniel and Joel and Ethan Coen's \"Barton Fink\"​

  This is a collection of twelve rejected poems. Each has been rejected by journal editors

  and each also copes with rejection in its own way. Writing the poems here helped the poet overcome much

  and he hopes that reading them

  while they are not \"inspirational

  \"​ may help you to overcome much too.
