Susan Stewart is the Donald T. Regan Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, a poet, and critic. She teaches the history of lyric poetry, aesthetics and the philosophy of literature, and cultural studies. Her works of poetry are Yellow Stars and Ice (Princeton U. Press), The Hive (U. of Georgia Press), and, most recently, The Forest, University of Chicago Press. She has also published three books of criticism: Nonsense (Johns Hopkins U. Press), On Longing (Duke U. Press), and Crimes of Writing (Oxford U. Press and Duke U. Press). Her current research project is a study of the five senses in relation to the history of the lyric. Professor Stewart is the recipient of two grants in poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, and a Lila Wallace Individual Writer's Award. In 1997 she was named a MacArthur Fellow.
