</font></b></font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Born in
the Mojave Desert of California, Forrest Gander grew up in Virginia,
caught between the rural landscape of the Shenandoah Valley and the
urban culture of Washington D.C.&nbsp; His early career and first college
degree was in geology, and earth science continues to inform his
writing.&nbsp; His poems and essays, sometimes associated with Eco-Poetics,
are characterized by an ethics and poetics of attentiveness to
geological and political history, cultural displacement, and musical
improvisation.&nbsp; Displaying innovative formal strategies and a
phenomenological bent, Gander&#8217;s work often crosses traditional genre
boundaries.&nbsp; His most recent book of essays, <em>A Faithful Existence,</em>
is a lyrical exploration of what it might mean to be faithful&#8212;in the
act of translation, in scientific and spiritual inquiry, in friendship,
and in poetry.&nbsp; His most recent collection of poems, <em>Eye Against Eye,</em>
takes places as five long poems, including a sequence in conversation
with photographs by Sally Mann. In another sequence, &#8220;Burning Towers,
Standing Wall&#8221; (its title an allusion to 9/11 and to W. B. Yeats),
Gander examines Mayan architecture in Mexico, turning, as <em>Publishers Weekly</em>
noted, &#8220;the visible stones, their 'mutilated stelae' and 'rubbed out
glyphs,' into a plea for patience in the face of violence.&#8221;&nbsp; Gander is
also a translator whose most recent projects include <em>Firefly  Under the Tongue: Selected Poems of Coral Bracho</em> and <em>No Shelter: Selected Poems of Pura  L�pez Colom�</em>. With Kent Johnson, Gander has translated two books by the  visionary Bolivian wunderkind, Jaime Saenz: <em>Immanent  Visitor </em>(a PEN Translation Award Finalist) and the astonishing book length  masterpiece, <em>The Night</em>.&nbsp;
Recipient of a Whiting Award for Writers, the Howard Foundation Award,
National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, and two Gertrude Stein
Awards for Innovative Writing,Gander has authored critical essays for
numerous journals, including <em>The Nation, The Boston Review,</em> and <em>The Providence Journal</em>.&nbsp; He is Professor of English and Comparative  Literature at Brown University in Rhode Island.</font></p><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><b><font color="#bc522d"><a name="hb" id="habj"></a>Harold Bloom</font></b></font></p>
