Distinguished Writers Series - Mary Ruefle

April 5, 2022

Mary Ruefle

On 4/5/22, Hunter hosted this program as part of the Distinguished Writer Series.

Poet and essayist Mary Ruefle has published over a dozen books of poetry, including Dunce (2019), which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, My Private Property (2016), Indeed I Was Pleased with the World (2007), and The Adamant (1989), which won the Iowa Poetry Prize. She is also the author of the essay collection, Madness, Rack, and Honey (2012) and the work of fiction, The Most of It (2008). A Little White Shadow (2006), her book of erasures-found texts in which all but a few words have been erased from the page-reveals what Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, called “haiku-like minifables, sideways aphorisms, and hauntingly perplexing koans.” Ruefle’s erasures are available to view on her website; a full-color facsimile of her erasure, Incarnation of Now, was published in a limited edition by See Double Press.

She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, as well as a Whiting Writers’ Award, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her work has been anthologized in Best American Poetry, Great American Prose Poems (2003), American Alphabets: 25 Contemporary Poets (2006), and The Next American Essay (2002). Ruefle has taught at Vermont College and the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She lives in Vermont.
