A professional poet, Daniel's December Manifestos (Lion's Arrow, 2013) was met with critical and public acclaim.

Daniel is an active member of the International Society for General Semantics, the Academy of American Poets, and American Mensa. In the past, Daniel was the Director of the Queens Symphony Orchestra, has been a professor of poetry and philosophy at many different colleges and universities including, but not limited to The New School and Boston College. He has read his poetry throughout the world and is now working full-time on the Salons and living in the Boston area.
