Davidson is the author of “Consolation Miracle” (Southern Illinois University Press, 2003) and “The Last Predicta” (Southern Illinois University Press, 2008) and editor, with John Poch, of “Hockey Haiku: The Essential Collection” (St. Martin’s Griffin, 2006).

According to Bruce Bond, poet and poetry editor of American Literary Review, Davidson’s “Consolation Miracle” is, “. . . a bag of jewels, poems both finely cut and sparkling with imaginative fire. Surely he is one of the most resourceful, supple and soulful young poets writing today.”
