Aarik Danielsen is a Midwestern journalist, essayist and poet whose writing exists at the four corners of literature, human dignity, pop culture and theology. Rejecting the title "content" creator (however you pronounce it), he hopes to create meaningful dispatches from a place of holy discontent.
Aarik has covered the arts for more than a decade at the Columbia Daily Tribune. He writes a weekly column, The (Dis)content, Wednesdays at Fathom Magazine.
His bylines have appeared at Image Journal, Plough, Split Lip, Rain Taxi, Tinderbox Poetry Journal, HAD, Entropy, Whale Road Review, Think Christian, Christ and Pop Culture, Sojourners, Mockingbird, EcoTheo Review, Relief Journal, Fevers of the Mind, The Museum of Americana, The Englewood Review of Books, The New Territory, The Blue Mountain Review, The Curator, Ekstasis, Major 7th and more.
Aarik also teaches at his alma mater, the University of Missouri. He lives in Columbia, Missouri with his wife and son.
