Bio

Daniel M. Shapiro has edited a lingerie catalog, broken his collarbone twice, and been called "gorgeous" by Burt Reynolds. His chapbook "Trading Fours" is forthcoming from Pudding House Press. "Interruptions," a collection of collaborations with Jessy Randall, is forthcoming from Pecan Grove Press. As a teacher of both math and English, he finds the Fibonacci poem to be an appropriate challenge. He has lived in Pittsburgh for five years but still hasn't encountered any zombies.

I
can't
just be
another.
I didn't come here
to share it with somebody else,

a communicable disease
spread by has-been whores.
I'm no whore.
I need
to
think,

to
find
the one
that's perfect,
a name as hot as
Kay in "The Godfather, Part II."
