Timeline

Dean Young (1955 – August 23, 2022) was an American contemporary poet in the lineage of John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and Kenneth Koch.

Often cited as a second-generation New York School poet, Young also derived influence and inspiration from the work of André Breton, Paul Éluard, and the other French Surrealist poets.

1955

Dean Young was born in Columbia, Pennsylvania in 1955.

He received his MFA from Indiana University.

1993

His work has been included in The Best American Poetry anthology multiple times, dating back to 1993.

2002

Young was awarded the Colorado Prize for Poetry for Strike Anywhere, has received a Stegner Fellowship from Stanford University, and has been awarded fellowships by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (2002) as well as from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

2005

Elegy on Toy Piano (2005), was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

2008

In 2008, Young became the William Livingston Chair of Poetry of the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin.

His later books included Solar Perplexus, Bender: New and Selected Poems, and Fall Higher.

In an interview, Young said his poems are about misunderstanding and that tying meaning too closely with understanding is not the intent of his poetry.

He found the process of creation to be more important than the work itself: his poems are more demonstrations than explanations.

He also found that using mangled quotes from technical journals, as he experimented with in First Course in Turbulence, allowed for a kind of collage in which tones confront each other.

Citing Breton as an influence, Young found surrealism useful in understanding the imagination and removing the boundaries between real and unreal.

2011

In 2011, Young had a heart transplant.

The possibility of his death and encounters with impermanence became frequent themes in his poetry, especially in Fall Higher, which was published days after his transplant.

Young died from complications of COVID-19 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 23, 2022.

He was 67.

In announcing his passing, Copper Canyon Press also shared that Young had submitted an as-yet unpublished manuscript, whose final lines were: "Some cries never reach us/Even though they're our own. The best endings are abrupt."

2014

Young was the Poet Laureate for Texas in 2014.
