Blindsight

Hewett is among our most experiential and painstakingly careful poetsdrawing inspiration from the grand and the mundanebut he's really writing about transitions. In poems that are witty, touching, and introspective as well as formally inventive, we find the poet losing his sight, becoming a parent, easing toward middle age with a sense of calm and inevitability.

Greg Hewett is the author of darkacre (Coffee House Press, 2010), The Eros Conspiracy (2006), Red Suburb (2002), and To Collect the Flesh (New Rivers Press, 1996)poetry collections that have received a Publishing Triangle Award, two Minnesota Book Award Nominations, a Lambda Book Award Nomination, and an Indie Bound Poetry Top Ten recommendation. The recipient of Fulbright fellowships to Denmark and Norway, Hewett has also been a fellow at the Camargo Foundation in France, and is Professor of English at Carleton College. He is currently finishing a biography of the film noir actor Thomas Gomez.
