Danon's work has been published widely in 2Horatio, The Paris Review, Tupelo Quarterly, Barrow Street, Versal, and Fence.

Robert Creeley selected one of her poems for inclusion in Best American Poetry 2002.
Ruth lives in Beacon, NY and teaches privately, working with students in Beacon and New York City. For 23 years she taught creative and expository writing in the program she designed and directed for adult undergraduates at NYU's School of Professional Studies. She founded Live Writing: A Project for the Reading, Writing, and Performance of Poetry. Ruth was curator of the Spring Street Reading Series for Atlas Studios in Newburgh, NY. She is presently organizing the first Beacon Lit Fest.

Review:“Turn Up the Heat is a beautiful book, at turns tender, wry, and heartbreaking. Whether she's writing about growing older, or the challenges of domesticity, or the fickleness of the English language, Ruth Danon has created a hymn to our complex present and our anxious, unknowable future. These poems altered me as I was reading them, and they are going to continue to stay with me for a very long time." - Saïd Sayrafiezadeh, author of American Estrangement
