David Ray has published over twenty books. Following the release of "When," Ray's latest poetry collection, African novelist Chinua Achebe hailed him as, "among the best half-dozen poets in the English language today." Ray's 2004 collection, "The Death of Sardanapalus and Other Poems of the Iraq Wars," was praised by literary critic F.D. Reeve as, "... the skilled work of a craftsman whose poems cry out against the barbarism of war and the stupid cruelties of those who make it."
In the 1960s, Ray was one of the founders of American Writers Against the Vietnam War and co-edited, with Robert Bly, "A Poetry Reading Against the Vietnam War." Ray has received numerous literary awards, and he has taught in the United States, India, Australia and New Zealand. He is married to fellow poet and Book of Voices contributor Judy Ray.
