A
recent Guggenheim Fellow, Linda Gregerson is the Frederick G. L. Huetwell
Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of
Michigan, where she teaches creative writing and Renaissance literature.Of her poems, The New Yorker has written, “Gregerson’s rich aesthetic allows her best poems to resonate metaphysically.” In her new volume Magnetic North, Linda Gregerson makes clearer than ever her passionate premise that the metaphysical only and always derives from our profound embeddedness in physical reality.
Of her critical work, Bibliotheque D'Humanisme has noted: "Here we have a detailed examination of literary style and achievement in epic poetry that brings Spenser and Milton more clearly into focus."
Her poems have appeared in The Best American Poetry as well as in the Atlantic Monthly, Poetry, Ploughshares, The Yale Review, TriQuarterly, and other publications. Among her many awards and honors are an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, three Pushcart Prizes, and a Kingsley Tufts Award.
