Cynthia Hogue has published five collections of poetry: Where the Parallels Cross (1984), The Woman in Red (1989), The Never Wife (1999), Flux (2002), and The Incognito Body (2006). Her poems have been praised for their intelligence, elegant compression, and chiseled syntax. Among her honors are a Fulbright Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in poetry, an NEH Summer Seminar Fellowship (on race and gender history), and the H.D. Fellowship at the Beinecke Library at Yale University. Also known for her criticism and scholarship, Hogue has been called one of the few critics well versed in contemporary theoretical debates who is also a skilled reader of poetry. Her books and essays on poetry, ranging from that of Emily Dickinson to Kathleen Fraser and Harryette Mullen, have explored the possibilities for ethical, poetic subjects and the transformation of consciousness. Her critical work includes Scheming Women: Poetry, Privilege, and the Politics of Subjectivity (SUNY P, 1995), and the following co-edited editions: We Who Love To Be Astonished: Experimental Feminist Poetics and Performance Art (U of Alabama P, 2001), Innovative Women Poets: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry and Interviews (U of Iowa P, 2007), and the first edition of H.D.’s The Sword Went Out to Sea, by Delia Alton (UP of Florida, 2007). Hogue taught in the MFA program at the University of New Orleans before moving to Pennsylvania, where she directed the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University for eight years. While in Pennsylvania, she trained in conflict resolution with the Mennonites and became a trained mediator specializing in diversity issues in education. In 2003, she joined the Department of English at ASU as the Maxine and Jonathan Marshall Chair in Modern and Contemporary Poetry. |
