H.L. Hix
H. L. Hix's most recent poetry book, God Bless, is a "political/poetic discourse" chronicling the Bush administration through sonnets and sestinas and villanelles composed of quotations from Bush speeches, intermingled with poems paraphrasing arguments from bin Laden speeches, and complemented by interviews with scholars, journalists, and poets. His previous collection, Chromatic, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Previous awards include the T. S. Eliot Prize and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He has collaborated on translations of Estonian and Lithuanian poetry, and written books of criticism including As Easy As Lying: Essays on Poetry and Spirits Hovering Over the Ashes: Legacies of Postmodern Theory. He earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Texas. After twenty years teaching at private art colleges (Kansas City Art Institute and Cleveland Institute of Art), he now teaches in the creative writing Master of Fine Arts program at the University of Wyoming.
