Padgett's poems reverberate with his love of poetry, his musings on artists and musicians from Andrew Marvell to Woody Guthrie to his personal friendships with Kenneth Koch and Joe Brainard, alongside his poems involving family and the magic of just being alive. By turns imaginative and witty, and then simple and direct, Padgett's mercurial work offers readers the pleasure of his surprising curiosity and generous spirit.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRon Padgett's \u003ci\u003eHow Long\u003c\/i\u003e was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry, and his \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e won the \u003ci\u003eLA Times\u003c\/i\u003e Prize for the best poetry book of 2014 and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America.
