Andrew Glaze was born in Tennessee and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. Educated at Harvard and Stanford, Glaze spent four years in the Air Force before returning to Birmingham to work as a newspaper reporter during the civil rights struggle. From 1957, he lived and worked in New York City, which he still considers home. On Ninth Avenue, he wrote eleven plays and two novels in addition to seven books of poems. Glaze was 44 when his first major book of poetry, Damned Ugly Children, a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize, was published in 1966. Now in his eighties and living in Miami, he feels he is doing his best work yet. He has a wife, Adriana, and two grown children.
