C.G. Hanzlicek won the Robert Payne Award from the Columbia University Translation Center in 1985 for his "Mirroring: Selected Poems of Vladimire Holan".
C.G. Hanzlicek received a B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1964 and a M.F.A. from the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa in 1986. He is the author of seven books of poetry: Living in It, Stars (winner of the 1977 Devins Award for Poetry)
"C. G. Hanzlicek has been writing a visionary, unsettling poetry of
need for several decades. With its short, narrative pacing, his
poetry addresses many individuals as it reminds the speaker about
the limits of human time. His life in California is a world of vast
landscapes and political realities, where the mystery of a land
under pressure is the stage for poetic wonder and absolution. To
have a major poetry press gather Hanzlicek's work is an encouraging
sign that our choices as readers have expanded."--The Bloomsbury
Review
"The Cave is poetry with an intuitive feel for the world of seas
and high meadows, for hawks, lizards, people, and places filled
with what poet James Wright once called "the genius of place.'
These luminous, ruminative poems speak to us as directly as fresh
wind with the power to measure human endeavor, communal aspiration,
and individual despair. These are welcome, memorable poems,
courage-built and always crafty, funny and wry, and deeply loving.
Who could want more?"
--Southern Review
