- HOLD: A reading and discussion with poet Robert Wrigley. Co-sponsored by Creative Writing.
Robert Wrigley was born in 1951 in East St. Louis, Ill. He was the first member of his family ever to graduate from college and the first male -- in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wales and Germany -- never to work in a coal mine.
In 1971, he was inducted into the U.S. Army but filed for discharge on the grounds of conscientious objection.
Wrigley attended Southern Illinois University and the University of Montana. He is currently a professor of English at the University of Idaho, where he teaches in the MFA program.
He has published six books of poetry: The Sinking of Clay City (1979); Moon in a Mason Jar (1986); What My Father Believed (1991); In the Bank of Beautiful Sins (1995); Reign of Snakes (1999); and The Lives of Animals (2003).
He has won two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Frederick Bock Prize from Poetry magazine, the Wagner Award from the Poetry Society of America, two Pushcart Prizes and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
He lives with his wife, the writer Kim Barnes, and their children, near Moscow, Idaho.
