Daniel Goldsmith was born in 1971, and lived in Yucca Valley until 1989. The desolate wasteland of sunrises and sets inspired his early poetry, and the lush forest of redwoods flanking the Pacific Ocean at UC Santa Cruz polished them. Today he lives in Rockville Maryland, writing Midnight Never Ending and substitute teaching.
