A native of Washington State, 詹妮弗·迈尔 divided her childhood between Washington, 加州, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. She attended Catholic parochial schools through high school and went on to graduate magna cum laude from the University of Washington with degrees in English and physiological psychology.
An interesting afternoon in her anatomy dissection lab (ask her about this), involving a human brain, 手术刀, and a poem by Robert Frost, 帮助博士. Maier decide to forgo medical school in favor of postgraduate study in American 文学. She moved to New Orleans, a favorite city since childhood, to study at Tulane University, completing her dissertation (on the artistic alliance between photography and poetry in the early 20th century) in 1998. It was during her time in New Orleans that Dr. Maier also began to publish her own poems, inspired by the eccentric mélange of art, 历史, and culture unique to that city.
SPU博士. Maier serves as writer-in-residence and teaches courses in modern and contemporary poetry and poetics, as well as intermediate and advanced poetry writing workshops. Every other summer she leads a month-long study abroad program for creative writing and literature students in Rome, 意大利.
Dr. Maier’s poetry has appeared in numerous literary journals in including Poetry, The Gettysburg Review, American Poet, Image, and Christianity & 文学, and has aired frequently on Public Radio International’s The Writer’s Almanac. Her first collection, 黑色字母, won the Crab Orchard Review Series in Poetry First Book Award and was named one of the Ten Remarkable 书 of 2006 by the Academy of American Poets. Her second collection, 现在,现在 was published in 2013 by The University of Pittsburg Press. 一本新书， These Bodies Are Not Our Own, is nearing completion.
