His poetry has appeared in literary magazines nationwide, and his co-edited anthology of food poems by poets from Robert Frost to Billy Collins, O Taste and See (Bottom Dog Press), won the 2004 American Poetry Award from Pudding House Press. Two poems from David's new book, SWEEPING THE CEMETARY (Browser Books), were read by Garrison Keillor on his nationally syndicated radio program The Writer's Almanac, and U. S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser chose another for his American Life in Poetry website. This past year he won the Paul Laurence Dunbar Poetry Prize and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
