New Poetry Editor: David J. Daniels

Crab Creek Review is excited to announce our new poetry editor, David J. Daniels. A long time member of the Crab Creek team, David has worked as both reader and associate poetry editor to find the best and brightest voices to publish. An award-winning poet in his own right, David brings his talents, insights, and voice to Crab Creek to help the journal continue to grow and reach new heights.
“Having worked on CCR for several years now — first as a reader, then as associate poetry editor — I’m excited to continue growing the scope and breadth of the poems we publish, aesthetically, formally, and in terms of subject matter. We also face an important historical opportunity to publish more voices from wider perspectives, particularly by poets of color, Native poets, and women and LGBT poets. This is a value shared across our editorial team, and I’m eager to carry out that vision.”
David J. Daniels is the author of _Clean_ (Four Way Books, 2014), winner of the Four Way Books Intro Prize, and a finalist for the Kate Tufts Discovery Award and the Lambda Literary Award. He teaches composition at the University of Denver and lives in Denver, Colorado.
