His poems have appeared in such periodicals as Poetry, Poetry Ireland Review, South Carolina Review, Cumberland Poetry Review, The Fiddlehead, Arizona Quarterly, and Southern Humanities Review, as well as two recent anthologies, Irish American Poetry From the Eighteenth Century to the Present and Blood to Remember: American Poets on the Holocaust.

Dan Davison, who lost parts of all four limbs in a drug-related accident, will speak at Keuka College Wednesday, April 14, at 7 p.m. in Hegeman 109.
It is free and open to the public.
“We are absolutely thrilled Dan is coming,” says Jennifer Furner, director of student activities. “His message will allow students to appreciate what they have, and gain a great understanding of individuals with disabilities and what they can accomplish in life. Hopefully, by attending, they will also realize that choices they make now can affect them later, and they won’t see themselves as invisible to what can happen when irrational decisions are made. ”
Poet Bruce Bennett will read from his works Tuesday, April 13 at 7 p.m. in the Gannett Room of Lightner Library.
Part of the College’s Spotlight Series, the reading is free and open to the public.

His recent chapbook is Visitation and a new chapbook, The Holding Stone, was published last month. His New and Selected Poems: Navigating the Distances was chosen by Booklist as “One of the Top 10 Poetry Books of 1999.”
