Robert
VanderMolen has been publishing poems in such periodicals as
Caliban, Salt Lick, Parnassus, Cincinnati Poetry Review,
Epoch, Grand Street, and Sulfur since the mid-1960s. The 1995 recipient
of an NEA Fellowship for poetry, he has authored a number of
collections, including: The Pavilion, Along the River,
Night Weather, Of Pines, The Lost Book, Variations, and Peaches,
the most recent of which is Breath.
An alumnus of Michigan State University, VanderMolen earned
an M.F.A. from the University of Oregon in 1973 and resides
in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his wife and two sons. As
a rule, four times a year he heads up to a cabin in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan for extended stays.
"In Breath, Robert VanderMolen finds and propounds
the courage to hold himself accountable for the unaccountable
consequences of Attention, of Vision. Thus his is a law without
bounds and an unconditional mercy. The Sublime is always inappropriate,
and VanderMolen delights in sublimity without shame. Honor
him." –Donald Revell |
