Daniel Brown was brought up in Owego, NY and moved to the Hudson Valley in 1972.At age 58 following the death of his Father and finding more years in the past than in the future he began to write poetry. Over the next few years, poetry became a daily process and a life work he needed to pursue. Daniel has been published in Chronogram magazine, the online journals and blogs Ekphrastic Review, MONO, Jerry Jazz Musician, Poetic Sun and print anthologies published by THEMA literary journal, the Haiku Society of America, MONO anthology #3, and MIGHTIER: Poets For Social Justice. Daniel is appreciative and happy every time his work is accepted. He has hosted a youtube channel "Poetry From Shooks Pond" and lives in Red Hook, New York with his wife, daughter and two cats.
