Tony Hoagland (1953-2018) was a “widely admired poet who could be both humorous and heartfelt, often in the same poem,” according to The New York Times. Hoagland, whose verse can be found in seven collections, was in residence in 2005. Hoagland earned an undergraduate degree in general studies at the University of Iowa in the mid-1970s before moving on to an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. His first poetry collection, Sweet Ruin, was published in 1992, and a 2003 collection, What Narcissism Means to Me, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry. The most recent, Priest Turned Therapist Treats Fear of God, was published this year.
