Melissa Green’s work has appeared in Yale Review, Agni, Paris Review, and The New York Review of Books. Her celebrated first volume, The Squanicook Eclogues, four long poems that weave memory and landscape with an almost religious understanding of the passage of time, received the Norma Farber Award from the Poetry Society of America 1989 and the Lavan Younger Poets Prize from the Academy of American Poets. Green is also the author of the harrowing and exquisite Color is the Suffering of Light: A Memoir (1995). Her new volume of poems, Fifty-Two, is forthcoming from Arrowsmith Press. She lives in Winthrop, Massachusetts.
