Dick Lourie is an American poet and the author of eight books{{Citation needed|date=May 2018}}. His most recent collection, If the Delta was the Sea, is available from Hanging Loose Press.

Professional life

In 1968, he signed the “Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.[1]

He has edited, along with Mark Pawlak, two anthologies of high school writing Smart Like Me and Bullseye. A musician as well as a poet, Lourie plays the tenor sax and trumpet with the Blue Suede Boppers, the G-Clefs, and musician Big Jack Johnson. In 2000, he released a CD, Ghost Radio Blues, a mix of blues and spoken word. He is retired from the University of Massachusetts, where he worked as an editor.[2]

The movie Smoke Signals, screenplay by Sherman Alexie, ends poignantly with his poem "Forgiving Our Fathers."

Personal life

He currently resides in Somerville, Massachusetts, with his wife, Abby Freedman.[3]
