Über den Autor


An enormous gift not only to the literary community but also to all who feel themselves embarked on a pilgrimage through life. -From the Introduction of Slow Pilgrim by Gregory WolfeI can adduce no other American poet who has cared in just this amalgamating way for his text and his Text... Cairns is the singular poet in this age of our country who has not seen fit to oblige his poetry to serve his belief, nor his belief to serve his poetry; it is one grown-up mind we read, one man's voice we hear: a contingency which makes it absurd for me to speak of service in either direction, for in these poems there is but one direction-inward. -From the Preface of Slow Pilgrim by Richard HowardScott Cairns is the author of many poetry collections spanning thirty years of writing. His poems have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Paris Review, The New Republic, Image, and other periodicals. He is Professor of English at the University of Missouri.
