Danny Sherrard is a Seattle star that has been in your peripherals for longer than you know. With roots in Youth Speaks Seattle, he graduated onto the adult scene and won the Individual National Poetry Slam competition in 2007, becoming the youngest competitor to win the title. In 2008 he went on to win France's Poetry World Cup where he competed against national champions from 15 countries. Danny has been on two Seattle poetry slam teams (2007, 2008) and diversified his bonds by representing the Honolulu poetry slam team in 2009.
Also in 2009 Danny toured with the spoken word group The Spilljoy Ensemble composed of himself, Jon Sands, Shira Erlichman and Ken Arkind. Keep your ear to the ground for their next tour.
Danny's first book, Cast Your Eyes like River Stones into the Exquisite Dark, is set for release in 2009 through Write Bloody Publishing. Search for him under the moon in alleys, and places that smell like rare books. Find some of his incarnations here. http://www.myspace.com/dannysherrard.
