Juliana Spahr (born 1966) is an American poet, literary critic, and editor.
Life[]
Spahr was born and raised in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Spahr earned a B.A. from Bard College in languages and literatures and a Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo in English.
She has taught at Siena College (1996-1997), the University of Hawaii at Manoa (1997-2003), and Mills College (2003-). With Jena Osman, she has edited arts journal Chain since 2003.
In addition to teaching and writing poetry, Spahr is also an active editor.[1]
Writing[]
Both Spahr's critical and scholarly studies, such as Everybody’s Autonomy: Connective reading and collective identity (2001), and her poetry have shown her commitment to fostering a "value of reading" as a communal, democratic, open process.[1] Her work therefore "distinguishes itself because she writes poems for which her critical work calls."[2]
Recognition[]
Spahr received the National Poetry Series Award for her debut collection of poetry, Response (1996).[1]
She received the 2009 Hardison Poetry Prize awarded by the Folger Shakespeare Library to honor a U.S. poet whose art and teaching demonstrate great imagination and daring.[3]
