Aarik Danielsen is a Pushcart Prize-nominated essayist, poet and journalist. Rejecting the title "content" creator (however you pronounce it), he hopes to create meaningful dispatches from a place of sacred discontent.
Aarik has covered the arts for more than 15 years at the Columbia Daily Tribune. He writes a regular column, The (Dis)content, for Fathom Magazine.
His writing has appeared at Image Journal, Plough, Split Lip, Rain Taxi, Tinderbox Poetry Journal, HAD, Entropy, Whale Road Review, EcoTheo Review, Relief Journal, Fevers of the Mind, Memoir Mixtapes, The Museum of Americana, The Twin Bill, Anti-Heroin Chic, The Englewood Review of Books, The New Territory, The Blue Mountain Review, The Curator, Major 7th and more.
Aarik lives in Columbia, Missouri, where he sometimes teaches at his alma mater, the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
