Charles North (born June 9, 1941) is an American poet, essayist and teacher.
Described by the poet James Schuyler as “the most stimulating poet of his generation,” he has received two National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowships, a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists award (2008), four Fund for Poetry awards, and a Poets Foundation award.
In his mid-twenties, while copy-editing for a publishing company, he began writing poems, studied poetry-writing at The New School with Kenneth Koch, and became associated with the second generation of the New York School, in particular the poetry community at The Poetry Project, where he taught a workshop from 1975 to 1976.
North's first poetry book, the innovative Lineups, was featured in two New York Post sports columns.
