Daniel Harris, a New York City native, began writing poetry when he retired from thirty-five years of teaching 19th and 20th British and American poetry at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Colorado and Rutgers University.
 
His poems relate to current history. Daniel is also a serious environmentalist and has been a leader in preserving forest land and in working for a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags. He pursues long hikes which he uses to balance his creative work. Lastly, he founded Jewish Voices, an outreach education program with topics ranging from immigration poetry and Jewish women's poetry to poems about Israel and the Holocaust experience.

She has published translations of Italian poetry from the 16th century to the present, including Iraqi émigré poet Thea Laitef.
