Robert Fitterman

Robert Fitterman (born 1959) is an American poet.

Life
Fitterman was born in St. Louis, and raised in Creve Cour, Missouri. He earned a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and an M.A. from Temple University.

Writing
Fitterman says of his writing practice, "experimental poetry has a long shelf life. Even if the community is small, the conversation could be vital to the future of the art...Beyond the numbers, what's crucial is to articulate, foster, and engage in a conversation that speaks to the dialogues of the day (and there may be many)."
