His poems have appeared widely in such journals as Poetry, Paris Review, DoubleTake, Connecticut Review, Image, Michigan Quarterly Review, Puerto del Sol, The Café Review, Tar River Poetry, Ascent, and Chautauqua. Awards include an AWP Intro Journal Award and the Sunken Garden Poetry Prize. Davis has taught creative writing and the College of the Holy Cross and Eastern Connecticut State University.

He is editor of Hill-Stead Museum's online poetry journal Theodate, and their twentieth anniversary festival anthology, Sunken Garden Poetry, 1992-2011 (Wesleyan University Press).
