"Born in Brooklyn, New York, Ted Greenwald earned a BA from Queens College, CUNY. He has authored more than 25 books of poetry, including Lapstrake (1965); Blink (1972); The Life (1975); You Bet! (1978); Common Sense (1979, 2016); Word of Mouth (1986); Looks Like I'm Walking (1991); You Go Through (1992); Something, She's Dead (1999); and The Up and Up (2004). The Age of Reasons (2016), a collection of his 'uncollected poems from 1969 to 1982', surprises the reader with his engaging language driven by the New York School and style of Language poets. In 1978, Greenwald, with Charles Bernstein, cofounded the Ear Inn Reading Series, which featured the poets John Ashbery and Michael Lally in its first reading. The reading series became a venue for developing and promoting the Language poetry movement, with which Greenwald's writing is associated." - Poetry Foundation (Inventory #: 2346396)
