Daniel Bliss is an English professor and world-traveling poet originally from Anchorage, Alaska. His work often focuses on the honest side of rural Americana. Instead of focusing on the often-naïve aspect, I examine and ask what does it mean to be raised in places that are forgotten. 

What moments exist in these places that end up sticking with us and later defining what we attempt to escape. His poems have been published or are forthcoming in Pinhole Poetry, the Bicoastal Review, League of Canadian Poets, Blood and Bourbon, BarBar, and many others.
