Daniel Wilcox, a former activist, teacher, and wanderer--from Nebraska to the Middle East--casts his lines out upon the world's turbulent waters and wide shores in Moria, Tipton Poetry Journal, Lunarosity, Writer's Ink, The Recusant, Crossing Rivers Into Twilight, erbacce, etc. His book of poetry, Dark Energy, was published in 2009 by Diminuendo Press. "The Faces of Stone" based on his time in the Middle East, appeared in both The Danforth Review and Danse Macabre. Daniel lives with a speculative novel The Feeling of the Earth, a second volume of poems Psalms, Yawps, and Howls, and his mystery-loving wife on the central coast of California.
