James Raymond Daniels (born 1956 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American poet and writer.
He lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, the writer Kristin Kovacic.
Daniels' writing style is as this:
Fine dust in the summer field of childhood
and the dark dank of lust
unfinished and forgotten feuds
vile taunts and sing-song slurs.
The tainted gentle stench of weeds
the absence of stately trees, adult supervision
the wide flat factories
the chemical tar of their parking lots.
The bicycles and t-shirts and greasy rags
and the foreign tenderness of girls
we shied away from, then dreamt about.[1]
Daniels was on the faculty of the creative writing program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1981-2021, where he was the Thomas Stockham Baker University Professor of English. He taught in the Antioch University-Los Angeles low-residency MFA Program from 2007-2021. He currently teaches in the Alma College low-residency MFA Program.
The majority of Daniels' papers are held in Michigan State University Libraries Special Collections.
Daniels' literary works have been recognized and highlighted at Michigan State University in their Michigan Writers Series.[2] He won the inaugural Brittingham Prize in Poetry in 1985 from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He was educated at Alma College and Bowling Green State University.
