He was educated at Princeton University and Harvard University. Inspiration and influencesKoethe has stated that the inspiration for many of his poems comes "in the shower, and while I'm shaving." He has said he loves living in Wisconsin, and that he finds the state beautiful. He has titled several of his poems after places in his hometown of Milwaukee, including "Hackett Avenue."[2] As influences on his poetry, he identifies several people, including famed writers William Wordsworth and Marcel Proust.[2] Writing careerBibliography
Other workKoethe has also contributed poetry and essays to publications including Poetry, Paris Review, Quarterly Review of Literature, Parnassus, and Art News.[3] His work has been included in anthologies of poetry, including The Best American Poetry (2003).[5] Additionally, he was selected to contribute his views on contemporary poetry for the book Ecstatic Occasions, Expedient Forms, which billed him as one of "85 leading contemporary poets."[6] Critical receptionKoethe's work has been well received by critics and academicians. John Freeman, writing in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, praised Sally's Hair by noting: "We're wrapped around [Koethe's] finger." He cited passages that alternatively explored the poet's most intimate layers before "ricochet[ing] back out into airy ponderings."[7] Robert Hahn, writing for The Kenyon Review, noted how Koethe's poetry paid homage to legendary literary influences, yet still retained a distinctively trenchant voice. Hahn praised Koethe as a poet of "striking and significant originality."[8] Andrew Yaphe, writing in the Chicago Review, hailed Koethe as being "widely recognized as one of our foremost Romantic poets, an inheritor of the tradition of Stevens and Ashbery."[9] And Prof. Bill Olsen of Western Michigan University prefixed a January 2005 public reading by Koethe by stating: "Reading or hearing a John Koethe poem is like listening to yourself – like hearing parts of your own consciousness for the first time."[10] Awards and honoursKoethe's Domes won the Frank O'Hara Award for Poetry, and his Falling Water won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award from Claremont Graduate University.[11] He has been granted fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts[12] and he has been nominated for the New Yorker Book Award, the Boston Book Review Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and the Boston Book Review Book Award. He is a fellow of the American Academy in Berlin, and the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the Council for Wisconsin Writers.[13] In February 2000, Koethe was named the first poet laureate for the city of Milwaukee, for which he received a $2,500 honorarium over two years.[2] When asked in an interview what being the poet laureate required, Koethe replied: "I was the first one, and no one was quite sure what exactly I was supposed to do. The Friends of the Library oversaw the position, so together, we just sort of made it up. I read Dr. Seuss to some kids, gave a poetry reading, read a poem to The Common Council. I also introduced four writers at Centennial Hall: two fiction writers, Martha Berglund and C.J. Hribal, and two poets Susan Firer and Lisa Samuels."[2] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.uwm.edu/Library/special/exhibits/milpoets/koethe1.htm |title="John Koethe," UWM biography |access-date=2008-08-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907161731/http://www.uwm.edu/Library/special/exhibits/milpoets/koethe1.htm |archive-date=2008-09-07 |dead-url=yes |df= }} {{Authority control}}{{Poets Laureate of Milwaukee, Wisconsin}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Koethe, John}}2. ^1 2 3 "John Koethe: poet, philosopher, East Sider," OnMilwaukee.com 3. ^1 "John Koethe," Poetry Foundation 4. ^[https://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1217802835/ref=sr_pg_1?ie=UTF8&rs=1000&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Cp%5F27%3AJohn%20Koethe&page=1 Amazon.com page for John Koethe] 5. ^{{cite book | last = Ed.) | first = (Cloth | title = Best American Poetry | publisher = SCRIBNER POETRY (NY) | location = United States | year = 2003 | isbn = 0-7432-0387-9 }} 6. ^{{cite book | last = Lehman | first = David | title = Ecstatic Occasions, Expedient Forms | publisher = University of Michigan Press | location = Ann Arbor | year = 1996 | isbn = 0-472-06633-1 }} 7. ^"With 'Sally's Hair,' we're wrapped around UWM poet's finger"{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, review by John Freeman, special to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 14 April 2006. 8. ^"'Drawing by Michelangelo, Color by Titian': Of Originality, Influence, and the Poetry of John Koethe" {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121142935/http://www.cstone.net/~poems/essahahn.htm |date=2008-11-21 }}, by Robert Hahn, for The Kenyon Review, Fall 2004. 9. ^“The Romantic Futility of John Koethe,” Chicago Review, March 22, 2001 (library card access required) 10. ^"Renowned poet to read from new book," The Herald, January 13, 2005{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 11. ^[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/poetryeverywhere/uwm/koethe.html "John Koethe," Poetry Everywhere-PBS] 12. ^"Wisconsin Authors," L.D.
