==Personal life==
Max Wickert (original name Maxalbrecht Wickert) was born in Augsburg, Germany, the oldest child of Stephan Phillip Wickert, an artist and art-teacher (later industrial designer), and Thilde (Kellner) Wickert. Four younger children, all sisters, were born between 1940 and 1946. In 1943, he experienced the Allied bombing of his native city and evacuation to Langenneufnach, a small farming village. (These events are later evoked in his short story, ''The Scythe of Saturn''). He received his early education in Langenneufnach, Passau, and Augsburg. In 1952 his family immigrated to Rochester, N.Y., where he completed high school at Aquinas Institute.
After receiving his B.A. from St. Bonaventure University (1958), he went on to graduate work in English at Yale University on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, studying under Cleanth Brooks, E. Talbot Donaldson, Davis P. Harding, Frederick W. Hilles, John C. Pope, Eugene Waith, W.K. Wimsatt, and Alexander Witherspoon. He completed a dissertation on William Morris under the direction of William Clyde DeVane and received his Ph.D. in 1965. At Yale, while working as a reader for ''Penny Poems'' under Al Shavzin and Don Mull,〔Grover Amen and John Updike, The Talk of the Town, “Pomes Pennyeach,” The New Yorker, October 24, 1959, p. 36 http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1959/10/24/1959_10_24_036_TNY_CARDS_000264094〕 he began writing poetry and briefly met Gregory Corso and Amiri Baraka (then Leroi Jones). His first teaching appointment was at Nazareth College (New York) in Rochester, New York (1962–1965), where he married one of his students. (The marriage ended in divorce in 1969.) A daughter, now a psychologist working in Massachusetts, was born in 1965. A year later, he was engaged by the English Department of the State University at Buffalo, N.Y., where he taught until his retirement in 2006. He remarried in 2006, and lives with his wife Katka Hammond in downtown Buffalo. His youngest sister, Gabriele Wickert, also a college professor (of German literature), teaches at Manhattanville College.
