Tony Hoagland

Tony Hoagland fue un aclamado poeta y ensayista estadounidense conocido por sus agudas y a menudo humorísticas reflexiones sobre la cultura contemporánea. Sus colecciones de poesía incluyen "Sweet Ruin", ganadora del Brittingham Prize in Poetry y del Zacharis Award, y "Donkey Gospel", galardonada con el James Laughlin Award. Otras obras destacadas como "What Narcissism Means to Me" fueron finalistas del National Book Critics Circle Award, mientras que volúmenes posteriores como "Priest Turned Therapist Treats Fear of God" consolidaron aún más su reputación por su comentario social incisivo. Hoagland también escribió ensayos críticos sobre poesía, entre ellos "Real Sofistakashun" y "Twenty Poems That Could Save America and Other Essays".

Reconocido por su estilo accesible pero mordaz, la escritura de Hoagland combinaba un lenguaje coloquial con agudas observaciones sobre la vida estadounidense. Los críticos elogiaron su capacidad para capturar la energía "demoníaca" del vernáculo americano, como señaló The New York Times. Su rango temático abarcaba la autorreflexión, la crítica social y las complejidades de las relaciones humanas. Más allá de sus logros literarios, recibió honores prestigiosos como el Mark Twain Award de la Poetry Foundation, el Jackson Poetry Prize y el O.B. Hardison Prize por sus contribuciones a la enseñanza. Hoagland ocupó cargos docentes en la Universidad de Houston y en el Warren Wilson MFA Program hasta su fallecimiento en 2018.
