Gerald Stern, the author of 17 poetry collections, has won the National Book Award, Jewish Book Award, and the Wallace Stevens Award, among others. in 2006 he was a nominee for the Neustadt Internatinal Prize for Literature, and Kate Daniels has called him "the U.S.'s one and only truly global poet." His most recent books include "In Beauty Bright (Norton 2012) and "Stealing History (Trinity 2012).
About his work, the poet Toi Derricotte has said, "Gerald Stern has made an immense contribution to American poetry. His poems are not only great poems, memorable ones, but ones that get into your heart and stay there. Their lyrical ecstasies take you up for that moment so that your vision is changed, you are changed. The voice is intimate, someone unafraid to be imperfect. Gerald Stern’s poems sing in praise of the natural world, and in outrage of whatever is antihuman."
