Daniel McCosh
Poet. Cartographer of the unseen.
If you listen closely, you might hear Daniel McCosh before you read him—a faint resonance, a shimmer in the air, the hush of a forest breathing. Daniel is not just a poet; he is a cartographer of the unseen, coaxing harmony from silence and meaning from the spaces between words.
Born in England and now rooted in Bavaria, Daniel walks the world with antennae tuned to the frequencies of wonder. He is a collector of organic rhythms: the pulse of a mountain stream, the hush of moorland mist, the secret conversations of trees. His poetry is a kind of alchemy, distilling these natural cadences into language that vibrates with healing intent. Curiosity is Daniel’s north star. He is a lifelong apprentice to the world’s mysteries. In his hands, language becomes a vessel for awe—a way to awaken the dormant magic within us all.
Daniel believes words are living things. His practice as a sound healer infuses his writing with a rare, meditative power: each poem is a doorway, each line a note in a symphony of subtle energies. He invites you to step through, to listen with your skin, to remember that creativity is not a luxury but a birthright encoded in your bones. Daniel has created audio versions of his work on this website, to share with the world and create connection through listening, recognising the importance of poetry beyond the written page.
Daniel’s collections Escaping, Aspire, Da Capo, Oscillations, Seldom Croaked the Hawk, and the latest, Spirit—are invitations to journey beyond the visible, to rediscover the organic music that thrums beneath the surface of things. As a member of the German Stanza and co-editor of their anthology, he is both a solitary wanderer and a bedrock in creative communities.
When you step into Daniel’s wordscapes the path is mossy, the air electric, and the next note is always just about to begin.
