In Julie Danho’s Those Who Keep Arriving, the personal is political and the political is terrifying. Danho faces this terror and transcends it to make stunning poems about creating a home and family. She often employs the ekphrasis mode, seeing well-known visual pieces anew, using them as vehicles for exploration. She also writes her own character studies in American Landscape and other forms. In “Abstraction,” a sonogram is imagined as art on a wall called “Moon, Clouds, / Volcano Taken From Above.” The glittering surfaces of her elegant poems are as fascinating as their substance.                                                                                                  —Denise Duhamel

In 2020, four of the poems from Those Who Keep Arriving were read by Garrison Keillor on The Writer’s Almanac:
  • “I Want to Eat Bugs With You Underground”
  • “The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie in New York City"
  • "It’s Terrible what’s Happening There” 
  • “For My Daughter on Her First Birthday”​
Julie Danho’s poems have appeared in journals such as New Ohio Review, Pleiades, and Bennington Review as well as featured on The Writer’s Almanac, Poetry Daily, and Verse Daily. Her chapbook, Six Portraits, won the 2013 Slapering Hol Press Chapbook Competition, and she has received a MacColl Johnson Fellowship as well as fellowships from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. Julie has an M.F.A. from Ohio State University and lives in Providence with her husband, the poet David O’Connell, and their daughter.
