The winner of numerous poetry awards, Boston College English Department Associate Professor Andrew Sofer has written Wave, his first book of poems. Named a finalist for the Morse Prize, the Donald Justice Award and the New Criterion Prize, Wave is described by acclaimed poet Linda Gregerson  as “dense with the lived joys and sorrows that might easily, in lesser hands, amount to dissonance. But Andrew Sofer, in this fine and remarkably mature first book, has found their richer temper.”
