Life

Clewell was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1955[2][3] and attended Highland Park High School, in nearby Highland Park, where he first developed an interest in poetry.[4] He graduated from University of Wisconsin with a B.A. in English.[5] In 1979, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri and earned an M.F.A. in writing from Washington University in St. Louis.[3] In 1985, Clewell began teaching in the English Department at Webster University.[3][6] A year later, he started the Webster University Visiting Writers Series, which he still coordinated until his death.[5]

As an instructor at Webster University, Clewell taught courses on 19th- and 20th-century literature, as well as poetry workshops and seminars. In 2010, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon noted that Clewell "has a unique perspective on contemporary American life and the characters and ideas that loom large in our recent history."[5]

Clewell is the author of 10 poetry collections and his work has appeared in over 50 journals and magazines,[5] including Harper's,[7] Poetry,[8][9] The Kenyon Review, The Missouri Review,[10] The Georgia Review, Ontario Review, New Letters, and Yankee. He has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize for poetry seven times.[5]

He was the poet laureate for the state of Missouri, serving until 2012. He passed the poetic torch to Will Trowbridge.[5]

He lived in Webster Groves, Missouri with his wife Patricia.[3][5]

"Shortly after the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, Bob Stephens read every word of Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience out loud to his 8 a.m. Freshman English class at Highland Park High because he honestly believed that words, used well, had the power to change lives. Small wonder, then, that he was the person to show me the first poems I actually cared about in mine."
