Descrizione
*Written in 2021-2022 out of a single poem commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in honor of Jasper John’s Mind/Mirror retrospective. Author wanted to write a formally analogous poem to the Jasper Johns painting entitled Fool’s House, since something about the painting gave him a way to finally write about his own breakup. *This capacious work is a tribute to elder artists, friends, caregivers, the broken-hearted and chronically ill and precariously employed. *After over a decade of teaching and writing in the San Francisco Bay Area, and eight years in Philadelphia, Author is now an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, and lives in Charlottesville. *Author’s other book, Doomstead Days was longlisted for the 2019 National Book Award in Poetry, is the winner of the Four Quartets Prize and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle, Kingsley Tufts, and Lambda Literary Awards. Author is a former Pew Fellow in the Arts, and the recipient of poetry fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the NEA, the MacDowell Colony, the American Antiquarian Society, the Fund for Poetry, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Headlands Center for the Arts.
