Parallel Lives, Michael Lind
Michael Lind has been described by Rolling Stone magazine as “that rarest of figures: an intellectual with name recognition.” Etruscan’s Parallel Lives (2007) is his first collection of verse.
Now the Whitehead Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation in Washington, D.C., Lind has been an editor or staff writer for The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, and The New Republic and writes frequently for The New York Times and the Financial Times. He is the author of more than a dozen books of history, political journalism, and fiction, including a poetry chapbook, When You Are Someone Else (Aralia Press, 2002), Bluebonnet Girl [Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2003], a children’s book in verse which won an Oppenheimer Toy Prize for children’s literature, and a narrative poem, The Alamo (Replica Books, 1999), which the Los Angeles Times named as one of the best books of the year.

Michael Lind has been described by Rolling Stone magazine as “that rarest of figures: an intellectual with name recognition.”
“Michael Lind’s poems rather stand apart from most of what’s published these days, one reason being that his range of experience goes beyond the purely academic or literary into the realm of domestic and foreign policy. His reading, furthermore, puts him in a congenial relationship with Latin and Greek literature, witness his brilliant use of alcaic meters in the poem “Maragheh and Alamut.” Everywhere in this singularly distilled book you will find instances of special astuteness with respect to content, form, and imagery. It does not reveal its excellence to the casual scanner but will repay the kind of attention we bring to reading the classics.” -Alfred Corn
Parallel Lives: A Collection of Poems is Lind’s first collection of verse.
