Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Author of more than fifty books of poetry, children's verse, literary criticism, translation, and memoirs, and editor of several influential anthologies, William Jay Smith served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (a position now called Poet Laureate) from 1968 to 1970. His memoir, 'Army Brat', was praised by Eudora Welty and Ralph Ellison, among many others, and his translations have won awards from the French Academy, the Swedish Academy, and the Hungarian government. Two of his ten collections of poetry were final contenders for the National Book Award. His prize-winning children's verse is collected in 'Laughing Time: Collected Nonsense.' Poet-in-residence at Williams College from 1951 to 1961 and chairman of the Writing Division of the School of the Arts at Columbia University from 1973 to 1975, he is Professor Emeritus of English at Hollins College. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1975 and its former Vice President for Literature, he divides his time between Cummington, Massachusetts, and Paris.
