James Raymond Daniels (born 1956 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American poet and writer.
Daniels' writing style is as this: Fine dust in the summer field of childhood and the dark dank of lust unfinished and forgotten feuds vile taunts and sing-song slurs.
The tainted gentle stench of weeds the absence of stately trees, adult supervision the wide flat factories the chemical tar of their parking lots.
The bicycles and t-shirts and greasy rags and the foreign tenderness of girls we shied away from, then dreamt about.
The majority of Daniels' papers are held in Michigan State University Libraries Special Collections.
