Philip Metres is the author of ten books, most recently "Shrapnel Maps" (Copper Canyon, 2020) which Library Journal described as “at once intimate and politically taut,” "The Sound of Listening: Poetry as Refuge and Resistance" (University of Michigan, 2018), winner of the 2019 Evelyn Shakir Award (Arab American Book Award in Non-Fiction), "Pictures at an Exhibition: A Petersburg Album" (University of Akron Press, 2016), the widely-praised "Sand Opera" (Alice James, 2015), which the Kenyon Review described as a “complex document of both daily life and the horrors of history,” and "I Burned at the Feast: Selected Poems of Arseny Tarkovsky" (Cleveland State, 2015).
He is professor of English and director of the Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Program at John Carroll University.
