The Neighbor by Michael Collier

The Neighbor by Michael Collier

The Neighbor is a book of portraits and portraiture. Like the eccentric and mysteriously heroic citizens of E. A. Robinson's Tilbury Town, Collier's figures haunt a startlingly familiar neighborhood. In clear, rich language, Collier reveals the complexities that emerge from his characters' seemingly uneventful lives.

MICHAEL COLLIER has received numerous awards and fellowships for his poetry, including a Discovery/The Nation prize in 1981, the Poetry Society of America's Alice Fay Di Castagnola Award in 1988, and a Thomas J. An NEA creative writing fellowship, a Watson fellowship, and a fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown Connecticut College (B.A.) graduate. (M.F.A., 1976) and the University of Arizona (B.A., 1976). Collier, who was born in 1979, has traveled extensively, from London to northern Africa to Siberia and Japan, and has worked as a house painter and a community volunteer.

He is a visiting lecturer in the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and an assistant professor of English and associate director of creative writing at the University of Maryland. In 1983-84, he was the director of the Folger Shakespeare Library's summer writers conference. Wesleyan University Press published his debut book, The Clasp and Other Poems, in 1986.
