for his translations of contemporary Hungarian poetry,[citation needed] and several grants and fellowships, including those from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
[6] Hoffman was married for 57 years to Elizabeth McFarland (1922–2005), a poet herself as well as the poetry editor of Ladies' Home Journal, from 1948 until that magazine stopped publishing verse in 1961.
