    BIOGRAPHICAL N 0 TE S DANNIE ABSE, born in Cardiff, England in 1923, is a doctor, poet, novelist and playwright. With a wide English audience and several volumes of poetry, he has gradually acquired an American following. His work covers many themes, though he consistently returns to medical topics as he has in the poem printed here. (Page 76) DIANE ACKERMAN was born in 1948 in Waukegan, Illinois, and studied writ­ ing at Cornell University where she became interested in using the details of sci­ ence and technology in her work. Herfirst book, The Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral, was the result of a year's immersion in planetary astronomy while on a Rockefei­ ler Graduate Fellowship in Humanities, Science, and Technology. Ackerman is currently teaching writing at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. She has recently become a pilot and her poems reflect this interest. (Pages 31, 42, 52, 204) A.R. AMMONS is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Poetry at Cornell Univer­ sity. His longstanding interest in science has influenced at least a generation of students, several of whom also appear in this collection. Ammons' poetry has been honored by a Guggenheim Fellowship, the National Book Award, the Na­ tional Book Critics Circle A ward in Poetry, and a MacArtbur Prize Fellow Award. (Pages 49, 122, 153) W.H.

  • CCP Catalog 2019 Fall.Indd
    though parallel lines touch in the infi nite, the infi nite is here— Arthur Sze Copper Canyon Reader 2020 “Poetry changes how we think.” ­ Ellen Bass DEAR READER DEAR Dear Poetry Reader, Some things never change—like our dedication to poetry, and to you, the reader. But when Copper Canyon Press published our first poetry collection in 1973, • We typeset, printed, and bound each book by hand. • Phones weighed nearly five pounds and were attached to walls. • The word combinations “world wide web” and “search engine” did not yet carry meaning. As we celebrate the launch of our new website—five hundred titles and several decades of technological and cultural advances later—Copper Canyon Press is changing how we think. Specifically,we are changing how we think about getting books into the hands and hearts of those people we care deeply about: readers like you. One vestige of the old model of publishing—traditional direct sales—no longer serves our readers the way it used to. Sales through our catalog and website have become few and far between, with the vast majority of book purchases happening elsewhere. While we are thrilled by the myriad contemporary ways for readers to find and fall in love with poetry, we are pushed to think differently about what it means to operate sustainably. So we’ve decided to let our friends in retail do what they do best: sell books. That allows us to turn, with gratitude, to you, our community. This new Copper Canyon Reader introduces a new way of thinking: To directly support Copper Canyon Press, we invite you to Read Generously! Donate $35 or more to help sustain our nonprofit mission of publishing poetry, and we will be delighted to send you the book of your choice from among those featured within these pages.
