Marjorie Perloff
Marjorie Perloff is one of America's foremost critics of modern and contemporary poetry. She spent ten years at the University of Southern California before moving to Stanford University, becoming the Sadie Dernham Patek Professor of Humanities in 1990. She is now Professor Emerita of English at Stanford and Scholar in Residence at the University of Southern California. Perloff has spent much of her career dedicated to works that were previously considered obscure. The subsequent success of many of these works can be attributed to Perloff's acclaimed and accessible writing.
