Hoffmann, Roald: - ROALD HOFFMANN had his first real introduction to poetry at Columbia College from Mark Van Doren, the great teacher and critic whose influence was at its height in the 1950's. He started writing poetry in the mid-seventies, but it was only in 1984 that his work began to be published. Hoffmann owes much to a poetry group at Cornell that included the late A. R. Ammons, Phyllis Janowitz and David Burak (still alive and kickin'), as well as to Maxine Kumin. His poems have appeared in many magazines and several anthologies, and have been translated into a number of languages."Theory of Dreams," is his sixth published poetry collection in English, the only language in which he writes, and which was his sixth language when he and his parents came to America in 1949. Three bilingual collections of his poems have also been published, one in Russian and two in Spanish, with the English text on facing pages. The last of these, with translations by Luisa Pastor, was published by Auralaria Press in Orihuela, Spain. It is entitled Los Hombres y las Moléculas. More information may be found on his webpage, roaldhoffmann.com.Hoffmann also writes nonfiction (five books) and plays (three plays produced). In a forthcoming book with Aleksandr P. Svitin and Enrique Martínez Celaya, entitled "Pebbles/Kamushki: The Commonalities and Divergences of Art and Science," Roald explores the varied topography of the terrain between chemistry, philosophy and art that he and his coauthors inhabit.Roald also has a life outside of writing. Most important, he has a loving family, wife Eva, children Hillel Jan and Ingrid Helena, and grandchildren. Roald was born in 1937 in Zloczów, then Poland, now Ukraine. He and a few relatives survived the Holocaust; you can see the traces of this experience in some of his poems. He has long been at Cornell University, active as a theoretical chemist. In chemistry he has taught his colleagues how to think about orbitals and electrons influencing structure and reactivity, and won most of the honors of his profession. And taught thousands of students. To nobody's surprise, it is far easier to make a living as a chemist than as a poet.
