Daniel is the author of two poetry books: Spit, published by Wheelbarrow Books in 2021, after winning the 2020 Wheelbarrow Books Poetry Prize; and Frame Inside a Frame published by Texas Review Press in 2025. Daniel grew up in Kentucky and lives in Bloomington, Indiana.
He says, "I am fascinated with what memory entails and how it shapes us, what falls within the frame of our perspective and what doesn’t. Here are a few poems that interrogate and mine the topic of memory."
