John Daniel

John Daniel is one of the Pacific Northwest's most beloved and iconic writers. He writes from the ground he walks and the landscapes he inhabits in the Pacific Northwest, spinning narratives that seek to define how he belongs to the land and to the wholeness of life itself. In his long career, John Daniel has received a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in Poetry at Stanford University, the Pushcart Prize (1983), two Oregon Book Awards, a 2006 PNBA Book Award, and the John Burroughs Natural History Essay Award (1995).

John Daniel's most recent collection of essays, The Far Corner: Northwestern Views on Land, Life, and Literature, ranges from meditations and arguments on becoming a writer, to the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001. He lives with his wife, Marilyn, in the Coast Range foothills west of Eugene, Oregon.
