Adam Day is an American poet and critic. He is the author of one full-length collection of poetry and one chapbook of poetry. ==Life and work== Day was born in raised in Louisville's working class south end. He graduated from Eckerd College (2001), and from New York University (2004) with an MFA in creative writing. He is currently director of the (Baltic Writing Residency ), which was founded in 2008 in an effort to nurture the literary arts by each year offering individuals a month-long residency at the (Hotel Bergs ) in Riga, Latvia; a week-long residency at a historic croft cottage in Brora, Scotland; three months at Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest, just outside of Louisville, Kentucky. Day is also vice president of the organization, Louisville Literary Arts, and has curated the InKY Reading Series at the (Bard's Town ) since 2012. He is a contributing editor for (''The Tusculum Review'' ) and ''(Memorious )''. He has taught English and creative writing at Earlham College, New York University, Bellarmine University, the University of Houston, the University of Kentucky, and elsewhere. Day's work "creates a liminal space wherein references to strange historical anecdotes share a stage with more introspective and personal utterances." In 2011, Day was selected by David Lehman for the PEN Emerging Writers Award, citing "Day is unafraid to conjoin historical and fictional personages for effects that startle and provoke, as in 'Combine,' in which Stalin, Goya, Queen Anne, and Tennessee Williams are among the cast of characters. Impressive, too, is the poem in which Day juxtaposes excerpts 'From an Interview with Kenzaburo Oe, with Stage Directions from Synge's ''Riders to the Sea''.' This poet's technical prowess, adventurousness, and wide-ranging curiosity give pleasure now and the promise of a great deal more to come." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adam Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
