Anselm Hollo (born April 12 1934) is a Finnish-born poet and translator. He has lived most of his life in the United States but lived for eight years in the United Kingdom before becoming a permanent U.S. resident in the late 1960s. He now lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife, artist Jane Dalrymple-Hollo. Hollo has published more than forty titles of poetry in the UK and in the US, in a style strongly influenced by the American beat poets. His work has appeared in many anthologies, including <em>Children of Albion: Poetry of the Underground in Britain </em>(1969), <em>British Poetry since 1945</em> and Jon Silkins <em>Poetry of the Committed Individual</em> (1973). He has received many awards, including NEA and Poets Foundation fellowships, and the San Francisco Poetry Center Award for the best book of poems published in 2001, <em>Notes on the Possibilities and Attractions of Existence: New and Selected Poems 1965-2000</em>. In 2001, poets and critics associated with the SUNY Buffalo POETICS list elected Hollo to the honorary position of "anti-laureate", in protest at the appointment of Billy Collins to the position of Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. Hollo has translated poetry and belles-lettres from Finnish, German, Swedish and French into English. In 2004, he won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award. He has taught creative writing in eighteen different institutions of higher learning, including SUNY Buffalo, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since 1989, he has taught in the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, where as of 2009 he held the rank of Full Professor.
