George Bilgere has published five collections of poetry, most recently The White Museum which was awarded the 2009 Autumn House Poetry Prize. Bilgere's poetry, while residing firmly in the every-day world of janitors, college students or siblings, is noted for its controlled poignancy and limpid free-verse line. Billy Collins has described him as "a welcome breath of fresh American air." A resident of Ohio, Bilgere lives in Cleveland, where he teaches creative writing at John Carroll University.
