 Email

Thanks for visiting! Due to the volume of emails I receive, I may not be able to return your email in a timely manner or at all, but I will do my best. For the NYT poetry column, I have completed my year-long tenure and am no longer the poetry editor.

To inquire about With My Back to the World, please contact FSG’s publicist.

To inquire about The Trees Witness Everything, OBIT, or Barbie Chang, please contact Copper Canyon’s publicist.

To inquire about Dear Memory: Letters on Writing, Silence, and Grief, please contact Milkweed Edition’s publicist.

This year, I am exceptionally busy with travels and have many other obligations. Also, I’m trying to write “more poems and less email,” as Ellen Bass says. As much as I am excited about your new book, I am taking a break from writing blurbs, and from writing references. If you have any copyright or permissions questions, please email Fred Courtright for Copper Canyon books and Wiley Agency for everything else. Thanks for your understanding and support.
