C. Daniel Koon was born in the Rust Belt, nursed on the Cold War, and spent most of his adolescence building forts in trees. He has a keen ability to mentally drift out of most conversations and relishes solitude more than a Tibetan monk. He studied writing at Hiram College before deciding to be a bard, and he fully intends to pop a squat in the pantheon of peerless poets before the end. He has four daughters and lives with his wife and youngest lass in Akron, Ohio.
