Trailer Park Quarterly is an online zine that “envisions itself as a place for real writing, something that an actual human being might want to read.” The project’s editors, Rebecca Schumejda and Daniel Crocker, began in the small press world in the 90s and have published poets work since in both digital and paper formats.

On July 16, 2019, Daniel was one of the featured poets at the 1 year anniversary celebration of the Brass Tacks poetry reading series at The Low Beat in Albany.

Daniel Crocker is a Missouri-based poet, editor, and educator whose work has appeared in over 100 publications, including The Los Angeles Review and The Chiron Review. He is the author of numerous poetry collections and chapbooks, including Leadwood: New and Selected Poems, and was the first winner of the Gerald Locklin Prize. Crocker also edits The Cape Rock, co-edits Trailer Park Quarterly, and hosts the podcast Sanesplaining, exploring poetry, mental illness, and pop culture.
