Jonathan Weinert grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and is a graduate of Brandeis University and the Spalding University MFA in Writing Program. Jonathan's first book, In the Mode of Disappearance, was selected by Brenda Hillman for the 2006 Nightboat Poetry Prize. His poems and reviews appear in many journals, including American Letters & Commentary, Pleiades, The Kenyon Review, Harvard Review, LIT, 32 Poems, Memorious, Green Mountains Review, Notre Dame Review, and Third Coast. He serves as web editor for the letterpress literary journal Tuesday; An Art Project, as a poetry editor for Perihelion, and as an interdisciplinary advisor at the Low-Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA.
“Jonathan Weinert’s award-winning collection, In the Mode of Disappearance, transcends contemporary categories of traditional and experimental, existing in a mode in which the quality of thought itself is paramount. Like Wallace Stevens and William Blake before him, his is a poetry that reaches the summit of philosophy without being shorn of song. Throughout the collection, Weinert draws upon a range of classical and postmodern strategies, dexterously integrating them with a series of non-poetic modes and constructs (including the four cardinal directions, the nine non-zero digits and the major arcana of the Tarot) in a humane effort to build a bulwark against the forces of fragmentation and disappearance. In so doing, Weinert’s poems forge a continuum of human knowledge in which, as Edith Sitwell once wrote, “the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind” are one.” (Brenda Hillman)
