Rosanna Warren has won the Lamont Poetry Prize, and has been honored with the Award of Merit in Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She is the author of six books of poems, most recently, So Forth (Norton, 2020), as well as the biography, Max Jacob: A Life in Art and Letters. (Norton, 2020). Harold Bloom writes: “Warren is an important poet, beyond the achievement of all but a handful of living American poets.” And Charles Simic writes in The NY Review of Books: “Her work has become stronger and stronger …. masterful and ambitious.” Rosanna Warren is Emeritus Professor at University of Chicago.Megha Majumdar is the author of the novel A Guardian and a Thief, which the New York Times Book Review described as "A true literary achievement . . . . Majumdar creates a tense and deeply compassionate portrait of desperation, fear and the combined selflessness and selfishness of parenthood." Her first book, ABurning, was named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post, The New York Times, NPR, The Atlantic, Vogue, and TIME Magazine. Writing of it in the New Yorker, James Wood called A Burning, "Masterly. . . . the elements of a thriller are transmuted into prismatic portraiture. . . . Her spare plot moves with arrowlike determination.” Born and raised in Kolkata, India, Megha now lives in New York.
The authors are in residence at Skidmore College for the New York State Summer Writers Institute, sponsored by the Office of Special Programs.
