Description
F. Daniel Rzicznek is a shapeshifter of poets-sometimes a watchful heron, sometimes a wheeling hawk, sometimes a gliding owl, and always an exquisitely observant crow. Poetry, he says, is a paranormal event. DIVINATION MACHINE makes the case. -Djelloul Marbrook
We have confessional poets, who write about themselves; nature poets, who write about place; experimental poets, who write about language. And we have F. Daniel Rzicznek, who finds "many centers to the world," whose DIVINATION MACHINE resists simplification into any one category. Rzicznek is a poet for whom "Everything / is a piece of the vision."- H. L. Hix
F. DANIEL RZICZNEK'S previous collections of poetry include NECK OF THE WORLD (winner of the 2007 May Swenson Poetry Award from Utah State University Press) and CLOUD TABLETS (winner of a Wick Poetry Center Chapbook Award). He is also coeditor, with Gary L. McDowell, of THE ROSE METAL PRESS FIELD GUIDE TO PROSE POETRY: CONTEMPORARY POETS IN DISCUSSION AND PRACTICE, forthcoming from Rose Metal Press in 2010. His poems have appeared in journals such as BOSTON REVIEW, THE NEW REPUBLIC, ORION, GRAY'S SPORTING JOURNAL, THE IOWA REVIEW, and elsewhere. He currently teaches English at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.
