I sometimes think my career could best be described thus: "Around the rough and rugged rocks the rude and raggedy rascal ran." I backed into an academic career (studying with Anthony Hecht at the University of Rochester) after spending some years as a manual laborer and freelance writer, publishing my first book of poems (which won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize) at thirty-six. Always interested in narrative poetry, I worked at an extended story in The Country I Remember (1996), the title poem of which won the Agnes Fay Di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America (1993). Eight years would pass before I published my third full-length collection, Arrivals, in 2004. There have been many chapbooks and limited editions of my poems as well.
My collection of essays, The Poetry of Life and the Life of Poetry, reflects more than a decade of work as an essayist and reviewer, particularly for such periodicals as The Hudson Review and The Sewanee Review--I’m on the advisory board at both magazines. I’ve kept working in that field, expanding the range of periodicals I write for, and am especially proud of a recent essay called "The Two Minds of a Western Poet," which might be the cornerstone of my next critical collection. I’ve also done a lot of co-editing, including two massive anthologies just out from McGraw-Hill: Twentieth Century American Poetry and Twentieth Century American Poetics: Poets on the Art of Poetry. With the late John Frederick Nims I co-edited the 4th edition of Western Wind (5th edition due in April 2005), and with Mark Jarman I co-edited the controversial anthology Rebel Angels: 25 Poets of the New Formalism.
I’ve led a highly itinerant life, and have published travel memoirs for years, bulletins from places like Greece, Turkey, Alaska and Britain. I believe a book of these is evolving to the point where radical reshaping and trimming will be required. Among my memoirs, though, the one of which I am proudest is "The End of Immortality" (Hudson Review, Winter 2004), which took me some twenty years to write as it deals with my older brother’s death in a mountain climbing accident.
When I first lived in Greece it was on money I had made while working as a gardener, but I was able to return for six months as a Fulbright Artist-in-Residence in 1997, and have been back teaching classes several times since then. After teaching for nine years at Moorhead State University in Minnesota (1989-1998), I took a job at my alma mater, The Colorado College, which had given me an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in 1996. In Minnesota I won a State Arts Board Fellowship (1995) and was named Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (1994). I’ve been a featured poet here and there, have had my work read on Garrison Keillor’s "Writer’s Almanac," and was a reader-participant in the National Book Festival in Washington D. C. (October 2003).
My poems appear in such periodicals as TLS, Poetry, Harper’s, The Hudson Review, The Nation, The New Republic, The Sewanee Review, The American Scholar, Agenda, PN Review, Threepenny Review, etc., and I have also published some fiction and dozens of translations from the Modern Greek. I’m just finishing a novel in verse called Ludlow, revising a book-length sequence of memoirs and embarking on a new collection of poems.
