His poems appear in many anthologies, including three times in the Best American Poetry, twice in Pushcart Prize collections, and one poem in the prestigious Norton Introduction to Literature. His own poetry has been translated into French, Spanish, Flemish, Swedish, Danish and Greek. Born in Oakland and still a Bay Area resident, Clover has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, and GQ; he has been a columnist for SPIN, The Village Voice, and The Nation, where he currently writes “Pop and Circumstance.” He is a Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of California, Davis.
