Who is Andrew Joron?
Andrew Joron is an American writer of experimental poetry. He began by writing science fiction poetry. Joron's later poetry, combining scientific and philosophical ideas with the sonic properties of language, has been compared to the work of the Russian Futurist Velimir Khlebnikov. Joron currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the 2014 fall semester, Joron joins the faculty of the Creative Writing Department at San Francisco State University.
He has won the Rhysling Award three times: for Best Long Poem in 1980 and 1986, and for Best Short Poem in 1978; and the Gertrude Stein Award twice, in 1996 and 2006.
Joron's poetry is included in two W. W. Norton anthologies: American Hybrid, edited by Cole Swensen and David St. John, and Postmodern American Poetry, edited by Paul Hoover.
Joron is the translator, from the German, of the Marxist-Utopian philosopher Ernst Bloch’s Literary Essays which was published by Stanford University Press in 1998. Joron is also the translator of The Perpetual Motion Machine by the German fantasist Paul Scheerbart.
During the 1990s, Andrew Joron formed a close friendship with the poet and novelist Gustaf Sobin.
