	Susan Stewart, Avalon Foundation University Professor in the Humanities Emerita, Professor of English Emerita, and member of the Associated Faculty of the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University is a poet, critic, and translator. She has taught at Princeton for nineteen years. She served as the Director of the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts from 2009 to 2017 and edited the Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets from 2013 to 2023. Born in York, Pennsylvania in 1952, she completed her B.A. from 1970-1973 at Dickinson College, majoring in English with minors in Anthropology and Fine Arts. She went on to the University of Pennsylvania, completing her Ph.D. in Folklore & Folklife Studies in 1978 after five years of study interleaved with an M.A. in poetry from the Writing Seminars at the Johns Hopkins University, in 1974-75. In 1978 she joined the faculty of the English Department at Temple University, where she helped found the creative writing program and annual Rome seminars in aesthetics. She returned to the University of Pennsylvania in 1997, where she was Regan Professor of English. At Princeton, she was Annan Professor of English from 2004 to 2010 before assuming the Avalon chair. Her degrees, in English, poetry, art history, and folklore, are reflected in the range of her publications ever since. She has alternated books of criticism and of poetry: as of 2023, there are seven of each. Her first book of criticism, Nonsense: Aspects of Intertextuality in Folklore and Literature (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1979), brings a curiosity shaped by structuralist anthropology to the senses of senseless speech, across writing from nursery rhymes to the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Her second, On Longing, Narratives of the Miniature, the Gigantic, the Souvenir, the Collection (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1984), translated now into several languages, has been an ongoing resource for visual artists inspired by its attention to feelings about objects. (Collaboration with artists, including Ann Hamilton, William Kentridge, and Eve Aschheim, continues to inform her work across all of her genres, as it has informed her teaching.) The next book was Crimes of Writing: Problems in the Containment of Representation (Duke University Press, 1994), and then came Poetry and the Fate of the Senses (University of Chicago Press, 2002), which won both the Truman Capote Prize for Literary Criticism and the Christian Gauss Award of Phi Beta Kappa. Four books of poems appeared over these years, Yellow Stars and Ice (Princeton University Press, 1981), The Hive (University of Georgia Press, 1987 and 2008), The Forest (University of Chicago Press, 1995), and Columbarium (University of Chicago Press, 2003), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her poems have engaged not only visual artists, but also musicians, with many set by her frequent collaborator the composer James Primosch. Their work included the song cycles "Songs for Adam," commissioned by the Chicago Symphony, and "A Sibyl," commissioned by Collage New Music in 2015 and performed by the Juilliard Orchestra at MOMA in the summer of 2017. At Princeton, Susan continued her practice of alternating books. Her books of poems have included Red Rover (University of Chicago Press, 2008) and Cinder: New and Selected Poems (Graywolf Press, 2017). Translations and co-translations have regularly interrupted the pattern, including volumes of poems by Alda Merini, Milo de Angelis, Antonella Anedda, and Marcel Proust. Chicago also published a collection of her writing on art, The Open Studio: Essays on Art and Aesthetics (2005), along with The Poet’s Freedom: A Notebook on Making (2011), and, most recently, The Ruins Lesson: Meaning and Material in Western Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2020). Her public honors and invitations have included a MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. She has been a Berlin Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin (2014), a visiting writer at the American Academy in Rome (2001), a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets (2005-2011), and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005-present), among many residencies, visiting positions, and memberships. Princeton gave her its Behrman Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Humanities in 2014, and in 2023 she is delivering Oxford’s Clarendon Lectures.
