Emily Fragos

Teaches at 92nd Street Y

Emily Fragos is the author of Hostage: New & Selected Poems and Little Savage. Her other honors include a 2014 Guggenheim Fellowship and an American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award. She is the 2015 Witter Bynner Fellow at the Library of Congress.

A student writes: "Emily Fragos creates a lively and intellectually rigorous poetry workshop without any trace of pretension. Her respect for language — and for the poets in the class — creates an immediate sense of community as she cuts right to the heart of the poems with integrity, humor and depth. I’ve taken many poetry workshops, through the MFA level, and found this one to be extremely refreshing and useful."
