Juliana Spahr (born 1966[1][2]) is an American poet, critic, and editor. She is the recipient of the 2009 Hardison Poetry Prize awarded by the Folger Shakespeare Library to honor a U.S. poet whose art and teaching demonstrate great imagination and daring.[3]
Both Spahr's critical and scholarly studies, i.e., Everybody’s Autonomy: Connective Reading and Collective Identity (2001), and her poetry have shown Spahr's commitment to fostering a "value of reading" as a communal, democratic, open process.[4] Her work therefore "distinguishes itself because she writes poems for which her critical work calls."[5] In addition to teaching and writing poetry, Spahr is also an active editor.[4] Spahr received the National Poetry Series Award for her first collection of poetry, Response (1996).[4]
