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).[7] 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 began working with poet Jan Wagner in 2009 and received a National Endowment of the Arts translation fellowship for The Art of Topiary (2017), a volume of his selected work.
