Nicholas Wolf was born in Pennsylvania, grew up outside of Philadelphia, and was educated at Harvard where he majored in English. He studied creative writing with Edwin Honig, John Hawkes, and Lillian Hellman. His previous books of poetry include Lost and Found, published in 2007 and Sunflowers, published in 2014. This further collection of his poetry contains 30 of his poems, dealing with life, death, romance, sadness, loss, youth, aging, and much more.Mr. Wolf continues to suggest that modern poetry must take hold of the reader as all great poetry has done in the past. No formal rules can excuse a remoteness; no ingenious structure should substitute for a transforming experience.
