First printing: 2500 copies (trade paper). On the Shores of Welcome Home is the fourteenth collection of poems by Bruce Weigl. His previous collection, The Abundance of Nothing (Northwestern University Press, 2013) was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. BOA published Weigl's translation of Nguyen Phan Que Mai's The Secret of Hoa Sen (BOA, 2013) as part of the Lannan Translation Series. Weigl has won numerous awards for his work, including the Robert Creeley Award, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, the Paterson Poetry Prize, the Poet's Prize from the Academy of American Poets, the Cleveland Arts Prize, and two Pushcart Prizes. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Yaddo Foundation. Weigl is one of six poets featured in the 2015 documentary film Poetry of Witness, which interviews six contemporary poets who have survived such extremities as war, torture, exile, and repression. The other poets profiled in the documentary are Carolyn Forche (Salvadoran Civil War), Saghi Ghahraman (Iranian Revolution), Fady Joudah (Doctors Without Borders), Claudia Serea (Socialist Republic of Romania), and Mario Susko (Bosnian War). One of the most popular and influential living military veteran poets, Bruce Weigl draws on his personal experience serving during the Vietnam War. The poems in this collection continue to seek, in the poet's own words, "the beauty of a thing said straight" while exploring how both memories of the war and Weigl's ongoing relationship with the people of Vietnam continue to evolve with age.
The author of over twenty books of poetry, translations and essays, Bruce Weigl's most recent collection, The Abundance of Nothing, was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. He has won the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, the Robert Creeley Award, The Cleveland Arts Prize, The Tu Do Chien Kien Award from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, fellowships at Breadloaf and Yaddo, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2018, he was awarded the "Premiul Tudor Arghezi Prize" from the National Museum of Literature of Romania. Weigl's poetry, essays, articles, reviews and translations have appeared in The Nation, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Harvard Review, Harpers, and elsewhere. His poetry has been translated into Romanian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Bulgarian, Japanese, Korean and Serbian. He lives in Oberlin, OH.
