Daniel Anderson’s work has appeared in Poetry, The Kenyon Review, New England Review, The Yale Review, The Hudson Review, Harper’s, The New Republic, The Southern Review, The Sewanee Review, The Best American Poetry and Southwest Review among other places. He has published two books of poetry, Drunk in Sunlight (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004) and January Rain (Story Line Press, 1997), and edited The Selected Poems of Howard Nemerov (Swallow Press/Ohio University Press, 2003). His honors include a Pushcart Prize as well as fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Bogliasco Foundation. He has taught at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, served as the Kenan Visiting Writer in the Creative Writing Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and currently teaches in the English Department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

During his visit, Mr. Anderson will give two public presentations. In the first of these events, on April 6 at 8:00 p.m., he will read from his work. On the following evening, April 7 at 8:00 p.m., he will deliver a talk titled “The Way that Poems Think.” Both events are free and open to the public, and will be held in Phillips Auditorium on the Hillsdale College campus.
