www.arthurvogelsang.comBorn in Baltimore, I earned a BA in English at the University of Maryland, an MA from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University, and an MFA from the Program in Creative Writing (the Writers Workshops) at the University of Iowa. I've been employed variously as an editor (The American Poetry Review 1973 - 2006) and as a teacher (University of Redlands, University of Southern California, University of Nevada, Wichita State University, University of Iowa). Among my six books of poetry, "Twentieth Century Women" (University of Georgia Press, 1988), was selected by John Ashbery for the Contemporary Poetry Series, "Cities and Towns" (University of Massachusetts Press, 1996), received the Juniper Prize, and "Orbit" appeared from the Pitt Poetry Series in Spring, 2016. I have numerous appearances in anthologies such as "The Best American Poetry" (Scribner), "The Pushcart Prize," "The New Breadloaf Anthology of Contemporary Poetry," and "American Hybrid" (W.W. Norton & Co.). I was co-editor of the Norton anthology "The Body Electric". The recipient of a California Arts Council fellowship and three National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in poetry, I live in Los Angeles with my wife Judith.
