| Submission declined on 28 September 2024 by Greenman (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Two sources are from the same website, one is a 404, and one is the subject's employer, which is far from establishing notability. Greenman (talk) 09:22, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

[1]

Career
[edit]Keplinger received an MFA from Penn State University. His first collection, The Rose Inside, was selected by Mary Oliver as the winner of the 1999 T. S. Eliot Prize (Truman State University).[3] Regarding her selection, Oliver stated,
"This is a wide book and a deep one, alive with marvelous composition and outcry. And yet, for all its zest of expression it is real life and real feeling that is most honored."
Keplinger has translated several collections of poetry from German and Danish. He has worked closely with Danish poet Carsten René Nielsen since the mid-2000s and has translated The World Cut Out (2007), House Inspections (2011), and Forty-One Objects (2019). He received a National Endowment of the Arts translation fellowship for his translation of Jan Wagner's The Art of Topiary (2017). [4]
