Alan Davies (poet)

Alan Davies (born August 26, 1951), is a contemporary American poet, critic, and editor who has been writing and publishing since the 1970s.

Alan Davies was born in Lacombe, a town in central Alberta, Canada.

Soon, Davies was forming relations with an experimental group of writers whose practice became determining features of what grew into the Language School.

Subsequently, Davies was included in the crucial anthology devoted to "language-centred" writing: In the American Tree, edited by Ron Silliman (National Poetry Foundation, 1986; 2002).

Alan Davies, who is a Buddhist (as pointed out by Juliana Spahr),[2] is currently living and working in New York City.
