Winner of the Helen C. Smith Memorial Award for the Best Book in Poetry, Texas Institute of Letters
John Briuth treats the world with extraordinary wit and subtle humar-rare enough qualities in much twentieth-century poetry. Bricuth writes with gusto on a variety of subjects, from the act of writing poetry to the lives of Glenn Miller and Laurel and Hardy. His rare command of verse forms and wide range of tone make his work a distinctive addition to contemporary American poetry.
John Bricuth is the pen name of John T. Irwin, former editor of the Georgia Review and author of numerous works of literary criticism and poetry, including Just Let Me Say This About That, the inaugural volume in the Sewanee Writers' Series from the Overlook Press. He is the Decker Professor in the Humanities and former chair of the Writing Seminars at the Johns Hopkins University. In 2005 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His books include As Long As It's Big: A Narrative Poem, Pure Products of America, Inc.: A Narrative Poem, American Hieroglyphics, The Mystery to a Solution, and Doubling and Incest / Repetition and Revenge.
