Richard Tillinghast is the author of seven books of poetry and two collections of essays. Three new books are scheduled for publication in 2008: The New Life, poems from Copper Beech; Finding Ireland, essays from the University of Notre Dame Press; and Dirty August, translations of the Turkish poet Edip Cansever in collaboration with Julia Clare Tillinghast, to be published by Talisman Press. A native Tennessean, Tillinghast now lives in Ireland.
