From forgiveness in a beehive to tiny banquets for retired janitors, Daniel Bailey's fifty-three sonnets combine formal constraint with unfettered caterwauling. This is contemporary poetic sincerity that is not too shy to see the heart, to eat the heart, to carry a heart and hold it when it catches a shake.
Bailey's work has appeared in No Colony, Abraham Lincoln, NOÖ Journal, elimae, Opium Magazine and more. He is from Muncie, Indiana.
