After graduating, he supported himself for a while writing liner notes for classical music albums before returning to obtain a Ph.D. in literature.[2] Hollander has been a resident of Woodbridge, Connecticut since the late 1980s. He has served as a judge for several high school recitation contests, and says he enjoys working with students on their poetry and teaching it. He stresses the importance of hearing poems out loud: "A good poem satisfies the ear. It creates a story or picture that grabs you, informs you and entertains you."[3] He is known also for his translations from Yiddish. Hollander usually writes his poems on a computer, but if inspiration strikes him when he's away from it, "I've been known to start poems on napkins and scraps of paper, too.[3] Hollander influenced poet Karl Kirchwey who studied under Hollander at Yale. Hollander taught him that it was possible to build a life around the task of writing poetry.[4] Kirchwey recalled Hollander's passion: “ Since he (John Hollander) is a poet himself ... he conveyed a passion for that knowledge as a source of current inspiration.--Karl Kirchwey talking about John Hollander in 2001[4] ” He also has served in the following positions, among others: member of the board, Wesleyan University Press (1959–62); editorial assistant for poetry, Partisan Review (1959–65); contributing editor, Harper's Magazine (1969–71).[5] Awards and honors 2006: Appointed Poet Laureate of the State of Connecticut[6] (term ends in 2011)[3] 2006: Robert Fitzgerald Prosody Award 2002: Philolexian Award for Distinguished Literary Achievement 1990: MacArthur Fellowship 1983: Bollingen Prize for Powers of Thirteen. 1979: elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Department of Literature 1958: Yale Series of Younger Poets for his first book of poems, A Crackling of Thorns, chosen by W.
