Biographical note
Allen Grossman was born in 1932 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His awards and honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Witter Brynner Prize for Poetry, and a MacArthur Fellowship. He was professor of English at Brandeis University and the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities at the Johns Hopkins University."<em>The Ether Dome</em> is the most complete collection available of the work of one of our most disturbing and humanly gifted poets. Grossman takes the risks of writing as a seer and prophet, and frequently justifies this perilous ascent to an authentic sublimity."
- Harold Bloom,
