About Rae Armantrout:

Writing for the Poetry Foundation, David Woo says that Rae Armantrout’s book Finalists (Wesleyan 2022) “emanates the radiant astonishment of living thought.” Her 2018 book, Wobble, was a finalist for the National Book Award that year. Her other books with Wesleyan include Partly: New and Selected Poems, Just Saying, Money Shot, Versed, Go Figure, and Notice, a chapbook focused on the effects of climate change. In 2010 Versed won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and The National Book Critics Circle Award. Retired from UC San Diego where she was professor of poetry and poetics, Armantrout recently served as judge of the Yale Younger Poets Prize.
