Although many of her poems are overtly autobiographical, they are never merely personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePulitzer Prize-winning poet Stephen Dunn wrote of \u003ci\u003eA New Hunger\u003c\/i\u003e: “There’s a time in the life of a poet as a maker of poems, if she or he is going to become more than just good, when the voice of one’s second self fully emerges, distilling and orchestrating the poet’s concerns, while simultaneously infusing them with an inner melody—a music that reaches and satisfies both ear and mind. This is to say that Laure-Anne Bosselaar, with her wonderful third book, \u003ci\u003eA New Hunger, \u003c\/i\u003ehas become more than just good. It’s an occasion to mark and to celebrate.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acclaimed author of two previous collections (\u003ci\u003eThe Hour Between Dog and Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSmall Gods of Grief,\u003c\/i\u003e which won the 2001 Isabella Stewart Gardner Prize), \u003cb\u003eLaure-Anne Bosselaar\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Belgium, where she worked as a talk show host, commentator, and voiceover for Belgian radio and television.
