Europa/Nippon/New York: Poems/Not-Poems (Poets Wear Prada, 2012); Thrum (Poets
Wear Prada, 2010); Father Silicon (The Poet’s Press, 2006), selected by The
Kansas City Star as one of 100 Noteworthy Books of 2006, a list that included
novels by Cormac McCarthy and Thomas Pynchon; and The Plague Psalms (The Poet’s
Press, 2000). Allegretti’s poems have appeared in Smartish Pace, PANK, The New
York Quarterly, Maintenant: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing & Art,
MARGIE, Fulcrum and many other national journals, as well as in The Best
American Poetry blog. He is represented in three new anthologies: Divining Divas
(Lethe Press, 2012), alongside Mark Doty, David Trinidad, and Timothy Liu; Token
Entry: New York City Subway Poems (Smalls Books, 2012), which includes work by
Langston Hughes, Hart Crane, Alicia Ostriker, and Edward Hirsch; In the BLACK,
In the RED (Helicon Nine, 2012), which includes poems by Dana Gioia, Brenda

was a semifinalist in the 2010 KNOCK International Play Contest. He wrote the

James Arthur’s first book of poems, Charms against
Lightning, was published this past October by Copper Canyon Press, as a Lannan
Literary Selection. Individual poems from Charms against Lightning have appeared
in The New Yorker, The New Republic, Poetry, and The American Poetry Review. He
has received the Amy Lowell Travelling Poetry Scholarship, a Wallace Stegner
Fellowship, an Amy Clampitt Residency, and a Discovery/The Nation Prize. Copper
Canyon's catalog describes Charms against Lightning, as "a poetic bildungsroman
organized around the theme of awakening from a 'ghost world' in order to journey
toward a definition of selfhood" and his poems as "romantic in spirit and
contemporary in outlook ... rhythmical, elastic, and expressive." During the
2012-13 academic year, James will be a Hodder Fellow at the Lewis Center for the
Arts in Princeton
