He has been described in the Times Literary Supplement as 'the unusual case of a contemporary poet whose most public, expansive voice is his most authentic.' His poetry collection, The Revisionist, was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award and National (then called American) Book Award, named a Notable Book of the Year in 1981 by the New York Times, and earned a Witter Bynner Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. His chapbook of previously uncollected poems, The Astropastorals, was named a 2017 Book of the Year in the Times Literary Supplement. His dual biography of botanist Rupert Barneby and artist Dwight Ripley, Both: A Portrait in Two Parts, was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and named a Stonewall Honor Book by the American Library Association. He is the author of an unorthodox commonplace book, Amerifil.txt, and a collection of essays and addresses, Lines from London Terrace. He has received an Ingram Merrill Award, Whiting Writers' Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and was a MacArthur Fellow from 1987 to 1992. He lives with his husband, Frank Polach, in New York and Honesdale, Pennsylvania.view less
