Daniel Bronson

Daniel Bronson (born 1945) was raised near Philadelphia, educated in Boston and resides with his family in Brooklyn. Along the way he has been a waiter and bartender in Edinburgh, a teacher in Paris and a magazine editor/writer in New York. For over 30 years he was an English professor at Montclair State University, where he also served as department chair. His teaching included American, Modern British, Irish and Canadian literatures, journalism and a course on the literature of baseball. He often worked with the Yogi Berra Museum in Montclair on baseball related programs, benefitting from the peculiar wit and wisdom of Mr. Berra.

Having grown up when the Phillies were at their worst and the Red Sox were second best, he has learned to accept defeat graciously and to be awed when victory comes his way. The Sound of One Glove Slapping: baseball poems grew out of my experiences teaching a course on Baseball and literature.

He has recently published a novel about a young American man's adventures with Mark Twain and Buffalo Bill's Wild West in Germany in the late 1800s. The Adventure of Peter Gray or Shall We Shoot the Kaiser? is available as either a paperback or Kindle read from Amazon.
