Ishion Hutchinson, author of three poetry collections, is a recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature and the Windham-Campbell Prize for Poetry, among others.

He is Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University in New York and recently published his essay collection, Fugitive Tilts, which New York Magazine described as ‘thrilling’.
