He received his BSA and MA degrees from the University of Central Missouri and his PhD from the University of Utah, and has taught at colleges, universities, and writing workshops across the country and abroad. Baker is the author of thirteen books of poetry and six books of prose about poetry and poetics; his latest poetry collection is Whale Fall, published by W. W. Norton.
