1954

David Mason (born December 11, 1954) is an American writer and the former Poet Laureate of Colorado.

David Mason was born and raised in Bellingham, Washington.

He studied briefly at the Colorado College, but left after one year to work as a fisherman in Alaska.

He returned to the college to earn his B.A. in 1978.

Mason and then-wife, Jonna Heinrich, moved to Rochester, New York, where he worked as a gardener.

1980

In 1980 they went to Greece, where they lived for just over a year in Kardamyli, Greece, in the Mani district of southernmost part of the Peloponnesus.

While living there he became a friend of the British travel author and war hero, Patrick Leigh Fermor.

Mason returned to the United States when he was hired to write the screenplay for a film based on a novel he had written.

In the end the film was canceled when the production company closed its film division.

After a part-time teaching stint at Colorado College, he began studying at the University of Rochester under Anthony Hecht.

1988

His first marriage ended, and in 1988 he married Scottish photojournalist Anne Lennox.

He received his doctorate from The University of Rochester and moved to Moorhead, Minnesota, where he taught at Minnesota State University Moorhead for ten years.

1994

In 1994, Mason was named the Minnesota Outstanding Professor of the Year.

1996

Mason spent the academic year of 1996–97 in Greece on a Fulbright fellowship, where he continued to perfect his Greek, meet Greek intellectuals and writers, translate and write, and visit old places from 16 years earlier.

1998

In 1998, Mason returned to his alma mater, Colorado College, where he now co-directs the Creative Writing program.

2004

A collection of his work "Sea Salt: Poems of a Decade, 2004–2014" was published in 2014 by Red Hen Press, followed in 2018 by "The Sound: new and Selected Poems" and in 2022 by "Pacific Light."

2010

In 2010 Mason was named Colorado Poet Laureate, for a four-year term ending in the summer of 2014.

2012

He and wife Anne Lennox lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado until the marriage ended in 2012.

Currently he lives in Manitou Springs, Colorado with his wife, Australian poet Cally Conan-Davies.

The post of Colorado Poet Laureate comes with a small stipend and an expectation of ten public appearances in the state each of the four years in the term, but Mason chose to greatly expand on those expectations, attempting to visit all 64 counties of the state during his term in order to share poetry in public appearances.

2014

Mason adapted Ludlow into an opera in partnership with composer, Lori Laitman, which was scheduled to run at Opera Colorado in 2014, but was cut when the company's schedule was reduced for economic reasons.

2018

An advisory editor at the Hudson Review, the Sewanee Review and Divide, Mason's work can be found in such periodicals as The New Yorker, Harper's, The Nation, The New Republic, The New York Times, The Times Literary Supplement, Poetry, Agenda, Modern Poetry in Translation, The New Criterion, Yale Review, The Hudson Review, The American Scholar, The Irish Times, and The Southern Review.

2019

Mason's personal connections to the event include a great-grandfather, George Mason, settled in Huerfano County in the late 19th century and ran, in Mason's words, "one of the notorious 'company stores' that cheated the miners near Ludlow."
