Tony Hoagland

Tony Hoagland

Anthony Dey Hoagland (born November 19, 1953) is an American poet and writer.

Life

He was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. His father was an Army doctor, and Hoagland grew up on various military bases throughout the South. He was educated at Williams College, the University of Iowa (B.A.), and the University of Arizona (M.F.A.). According to the novelist Don Lee, Hoagland "attended and dropped out of several colleges, picked apples and cherries in the Northwest, lived in communes, [and] followed the Grateful Dead . . ." [http://www.pshares.org/issues/article.cfm?prmarticleID=3801 ("Ploughshares" article by Don Lee)] He currently teaches in the University of Houston creative writing program.

Poetry

Hoagland has said that "if I were going to place myself on some aesthetic graph, my dot would be equidistant between Sharon Olds and Frank O’Hara, between the confessional (where I started) and the social (where I have aimed myself). [http://www.treschicasbooks.com/pages/mir-interview-hoagland.html (Interview with Miriam Sagan)] In a 2002 citation, The American Academy of Arts and Letters said that "Hoagland's imagination ranges thrillingly across manners, morals, sexual doings, and kinds of speech lyrical and candid, intimate as well as wild." His 2003 collection "What Narcissism Means to Me" was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
