About me
Robert J. Clawson
A country kid, Bob attended a two-room schoolhouse.
At Kenyon College, he studied poetry with John Crowe Ransom. After teaching high-school English, he entered business, where he was a writer, editor, and creative director. Time for poetry dwindled, but stalked him like a brindled hound, all ribs, tongue and tail.
Bob’s been published in The Southern Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Lancet, Yankee, Poet Lore, and Consequence. He has featured in NYC; Galway, Clifden, and Cleggan, Ireland; Spetses, Greece; Forsyth Chapel, Nantucket Athenaeum, and many other venues. He’s a founder of the Robert Creeley Award and the Robert Creeley Foundation.
