Rate My Professor Corey Van Landingham

Van Landingham is the author of three poetry collections: Reader, I (Sarabande Books, 2024), which examines marriage, the tension between individuality and partnership, domestic constraints, and new landscapes gained through union; Love Letter to Who Owns the Heavens (Tupelo Press, 2022), winner of the 2023 Levis Reading Prize; and Antidote (Ohio State University Press, 2013), recipient of the 2012 Ohio State University Press/The Journal Award in Poetry. Her poems have appeared in distinguished publications such as The New Yorker, American Poetry Review, The Best American Poetry, Boston Review, Sewanee Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Colorado Review. She has received major awards and fellowships, including a 2025 Guggenheim Fellowship for a poetry project developing a collection on themes of exile, quarantine, isolation, and solitude—inspired by historical events like Venice’s Black Death quarantine and contemporary instances such as forest fire lookouts and the solo migration of wolf OR-7—exploring how seclusion fosters deeper thought amid pervasive noise; a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Poetry; and a Wallace Stegner Poetry Fellowship from Stanford University. Van Landingham's contributions to poetry through her publications, awards, and teaching exert considerable influence in the field of contemporary American poetry.
