Norman Dubie (April 10, 1945--February 20, 2023) was an American poet from Barre, VT.
Dubie's work often assumes historical personae and has been included in The New Yorker, Ploughshares,[1] The Paris Review, FIELD, Narrative, The American Poetry Review, The Fiddlehead, and Blackbird, an online journal of literature and the arts.
With his latest collection of poems, The Quotations of Bone, published in 2015 by Copper Canyon Press, Dubie was the international recipient of the 2016 Griffin Poetry Prize.
These include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ingram Merrill Foundation, the Bess Hokin Prize from Poetry Magazine and the Modern Poetry Association, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Award.
The Tucson-based band Calexico have stated that Dubie's poetry was very influential on their album Carried to Dust, particularly the song "Two Silver Trees".
