Line 13: Over the years, over 100 of Max Wickert’s poems and translation have appeared in journals, including [[American Poetry Review]], [[Chicago Review]], Choice: A Magazine of Poetry and Photography, The Lyric, [[Malahat Review]], [[Michigan Review]], [[Pequod]], [[Poetry]] (Chicago), [[Sewanee Review]], [[Shenandoah]] and [[Xanadu]], as well as in several anthologies.<br /> As a scholar, Max Wickert produced a handful of articles and conference papers (on [[Spenser]], [[Shakespeare]] and early [[opera]]), but was principally known as a teacher of a lower-division course on Dante’s ''Divine Comedy'' and of an Intensive Survey of English Literature, a course of his own design for specially motivated majors. Among his students were Neil Baldwin, [[Michael Basinski]], [[Charles Baxter]], Patricia Gill, and Neil Saccamano.<br /> In 1985, he received an [[NEH]] Summer Fellowship to the Dartmouth Dante Institute, and for several summers thereafter pursued intensive study of Italian at the Università per Stranieri in [[Perugia, Italy]]. He has since turned increasingly to translation from Italian. He published ''The Liberation of Jerusalem'', a verse translation of [[Torquato Tasso]]’s epic, [[''Gerusalemme liberata'']], in 2008, and a year later completed translations of a medieval prose romance, [[Andrea da Barberino]]’s ''Reali di Francia'' (The Royal House of France) and of ''Università per Stranieri (University for Aliens)'' by the contemporary Italian poet, Daniela Margheriti. He is presently working on versions of Tasso’s love lyrics and of his first epic, ''Rinaldo''.<br /> Under his direction, [[Outriders Poetry Project]], reborn as a small press in 2009, has issued Ann Goldsmith’s ''The Spaces Between Us'' (April 2010) and Martin Pops’ ''Monoxidyl and Other Stories'' (September 2010). A retrospective Outriders Anthology is in preparation, as is a volume of his own poems, ''No Cartoons''.
