Carcanet, his longtime publisher, has most recently published his work Arioflotga, previously featured on Molossus. Famously eclectic, Kuppner for many years sported the poetry world’s most impressive facial hair, second perhaps only to Czesław Miłosz’ eyebrows. His early collections include A Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty (1984) and The Intelligent Observation of Naked Women (1987), and he writes a sporadic column for PN Review.
