Tony Hoagland explores the spiritual bereftness of American satisfaction, creating poetry that is scathing, funny, rich, and refreshing. The American Academy of Arts and Letters praised his work, stating, "Tony Hoagland's imagination ranges thrillingly across manners, morals, sexual doings, kinds of speech both lyrical and candid, intimate as well as wild." His books include Sweet Ruin and What Narcissism Means to Me, as well as a collection of essays about poetry called Real Sofistikashun: Essays on Poetry and Craft. Hoagland received the 2005 Mark Twain Award, given by the Poetry Foundation in recognition of his contribution to humor in American poetry.
Kate Daniels is the author of three volumes of poetry: The White Wave, The Niobe Poems and her most recent work, Four Testimonies: Poems. She has won the James Dickey Prize for Poetry from Five Points: A Journal of Literature and Art and the Louisiana Literature Prize for Poetry from Southeastern Louisiana University. Her fourth collection of poetry, A Walk in Victoria's Secret, is forthcoming from LSU Press. She is Director of Creative Writing at Vanderbilt.
