About the Author
Keith Althaus is the author of three poetry collections, Rival Heavens (1993), Ladder of Hours (2005), and Cold Storage, which won the 2016 Off the Grid Poetry Prize. He has also received a Pushcart Prize and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Foundation of the Arts.
In 1969 Althaus was one of the first Writing Fellows at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He lives on Cape Cod with his wife, the artist Susan Baker.
“I’ve admired Keith Althaus’ poems for decades, as they have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s, Poetry and other journals, as well as in his three previous collections. His moral center, perfect ear and ability to summon the infinite from the everyday, are in full display here in poems that show the range and depth of his career. His New & Selected Poems is a major literary event.”
“Only if you combined Robert Creeley with Jean Follain, you might get a poetry as spare yet rich as this.”
