Aarik Danielsen is a Pushcart Prize-nominated writer and journalist. Rejecting the title "content" creator (however you pronounce it), he hopes to create meaningful dispatches from a place of healthy, almost sacred discontent.

Aarik has covered the arts for more than 15 years at the Columbia Daily Tribune.

His writing is forthcoming or has appeared at Pleiades, Image Journal, Split Lip, Rain Taxi, Tinderbox Poetry Journal, Whale Road Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, The New Territory and more.

Aarik lives in Columbia, Missouri, where he sometimes teaches at his alma mater, the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
