Daniel Thompson (poet)

Thompson and Steven B. Smith co-edited "Crimes in the Dark: Reel-Life Art," also known as the "popcorn box" edition of ArtCrimes.

[citation needed] Daniel Thompson performed on the 1996 CD "Genetic Memory" with percussionist Sam Phillips.

Featuring the cut, "Tell Chief Wahoo", a commentary against the use of the Chief Wahoo logo by the Cleveland Indians, the "Genetic Memory" CD sold several thousand copies in the Cleveland area, and landed Sam Phillips an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show".

In 1998 Daniel released a second CD, "Famous In The Neighborhood", as a companion piece to a poetry chapbook of the same name.

[citation needed] Thompson contributed poems to the Homeless Grapevine newspaper and wall calendar.

Thompson arranged a creative solution where Franke did community service: reading his poems to a soup-line audience at a homeless shelter.
