David Landrey is the author of , (Spuyten Duyvil, 2008), Psyche & Ares, (Fairfield Press, 2016), Intermezzi To Divorce Poems and Dinner Table Scenes, (Jensen Daniels 2002), and other books. A former student of Charles Olson at the University of Buffalo in the early 1960’s and a Fulbright teaching scholar in Turkey, he taught literature and American postmodern poetry at SUNY Buffalo State University for over 35 years. His immersive style of teaching, focused primarily on Nineteenth Century and Post-Modern American Literature and letters, inspired his students to live in and through the works he introduced them to and taught; not just as works of art to be analyzed, but dimensions of consciousness required to be explored, opening minds and hearts to alternative and deeply humanist modes of understanding and navigating the myriad passages and experiences of life.
