While Daniel’s already done us the courtesy of posting a meet-and-greet post, and has been wonderfully active over the past 48 hours – posting about Gene Simmons impersonators, required reading, why Mick Jagger’s not afraid, and the assessment of assessment – we’ve hardly done him justice with an introduction proper. 

The thing you really ought to know about Daniel is that he’s published, not one, but two poems on Linebreak: “Stardust Memories” and “Caddyshackesque“, both of which are worth reading again. And again. 

But, in addition to those two fine accomplishments, he’s the author of How to Be Inappropriate (Soft Skull Press, 2009), a book of humorous nonfiction, God Save My Queen and God Save My Queen II, prose collections on his obsession with the rock band Queen, and The History of My World Tonight (BlazeVox, 2006), a book of poems. His work has appeared in Best Creative Nonfiction, Third Rail: The Poetry of Rock and Roll, and The Best American Poetry 2003, among other places. Also: He is an assistant professor of English at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY.

Keep on reading those prolific posts as Daniel sets a new – and intimidating – standard of productivity for guest bloggers. Lovely!
