WE REMEMBER LUCIE BROCK-BROIDO

FINE ARTS WORK CENTER POETRY FELLOW 1982-1983“The poet and teacher Lucie Brock-Broido, who contributed work to

The New Yorker for more than two decades, died on Tuesday [March 6, 2018], at the age of sixty-one. Brock-Broido’s poems possessed a formal rigor and a supernatural sensibility that placed her in a lineage of revelatory American poetic voices like Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath.”

HANNAH AIZENMAN,The New Yorker’s poetry coordinator

A new poem by Brock-Broido, “Giraffe,” was just published in the March 26, 2018, issue of The New Yorker.
