For the last ten years Daniel has dedicated himself to grassroots education in under-served communities. He has worked extensively in arts programming and has developed creative writing curricula in English and Spanish for children and teens, inmates, second language learners, and the developmentally disabled in a wide variety of settings including public schools, prisons, and hospitals. In addition to working as an educator, he has also served as arts coordinator for the Association House, one of Chicago’s largest social service agencies and settlement homes. Daniel most recently worked for the Snow City Arts Foundation where he created and curated “Saving Ourselves,” an international photography exhibition that features photographs taken by pediatric patients from Chicago, Italy, Pakistan, Australia, Ghana, and the Phillipines. Daniel is also a writer, and his work will appear in
The Best American Poetry 2007. Currently, he is performing “How to Catch a Falling Knife: the Illuminated Text”– a multi-media layering of poetry, live music, and the found home movies of a World War II-era Fuller Brush salesman from Davenport, Iowa.
