Timeline
David Wojahn (born 1953, in St. Paul, Minnesota) is a contemporary American poet who teaches poetry in the Department of English at Virginia Commonwealth University, and in the low residency MFA in Writing program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
He has been the director of Virginia Commonwealth University's Creative Writing Program.
He was educated at the University of Minnesota, and the University of Arizona.
Wojahn taught for many years at Indiana University.
He has also taught at University of Alabama, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, University of Chicago, University of Houston, and University of New Orleans.
Wojahn has also edited a volume of poetry by his late wife, Lynda Hull, entitled The Only World (HarperPerennial, 1995), as well as her more recent Collected Poems (Graywolf, 2006).
In 2003, he joined Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
He also teaches at Vermont College of Fine Arts.
Most of Wojahn's poetry is metrical although he also works in free verse, usually addressing political and social issues in American life.
He often takes as his subjects moments of significance in popular culture, such as the assassination of John Lennon, the professional decline of Jim Morrison or the drowning of Brian Jones.
He has said that he hopes his poetry is considered "activist."
The poet Richard Hugo selected Wojahn's first book, Icehouse Lights, as a winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets prize.
"David Wojahn's poems concern themselves with emotive basics: leaving home, watching those we love age and die, the inescapable drone of our mortality," Hugo wrote.
"Yet as poems, they are far from usual. They help us welcome inside, again and again, the most personal of feelings."
Wojahn has gone on to publish seven more books of poetry, all with the University of Pittsburgh Press.
