Eve Grubin is an American poet and essayist living in London.

Grubin "pries language open to reveal its pure, muscular core" (Jane Hirshfield), her poems opening "the division between the sacred and the mundane [...] like liturgical commands, authoritative, but never authoritarian" (Alison Brackenbury).[*] Carolyn Forché has noted Grubin's "spiritual and artistic discipline", her ability to hint "at a story undisclosed, creating a poetic palimpsest of mystery and revelation". Sarah Rindner has drawn attention to the importance of reticence in Grubin's writing, the ways in which "the act of withholding gratification or fulfillment, translates into greater longing and desire".[*] For Yusef Komunyakaa, Grubin's poems are "sure-eyed and determined to render a lyrical clarity".

Grubin's poems have appeared in many literary journals and magazines, including The American Poetry Review, PN Review, The New Republic, Poetry Review, and Conjunctions (where her chapbook-size group of poems was featured and introduced by Fanny Howe). Her poems have also appeared in serval anthologies, including The Poets Quest for God: 21st Century Poems of Faith, Doubt, and Wonder (Eyewear Press 2016), The World is Charged: Poetic Engagements with Gerard Manley Hopkins (Clemson / Liverpool University Press, 2016) and The Bloomsbury Anthology of Contemporary Jewish American Poetry (2014). Wendy Cope shortlisted Eve’s poem “Wind” for the Bridport Prize (2013) and Mark Doty shortlisted her chapbook for the Sunken Garden Poetry Prize (Tupelo Press).

Gurbin's essays have appeared in anthologies, including This-World Company: Collected Essays on the Work of Jean Valentine (University of Michigan Press, 2012) and The Veil: Women Writers on Its History Lore and Politics (University of California Press, 2009).

Grubin was the programs director at the Poetry Society of America (2001-2006) and taught poetry at The New School for Social Research (2001-2007) and in the graduate creative writing program at the City College of New York (2005-2008). She has taught at the Poetry School and the London School of Jewish Studies (where she has been poet in residence).

Grubin is a lecturer at New York University in London and a tutor at the Poetry School. She is the recipient of an AHRC/TECHNE scholarship to write her PhD thesis (Kingston University): “Boat of Letters: Emily Dickinson and the Poetics of Reticence”.

She is the author of Morning Prayer (Sheep Meadow Press, 2006) and The House of Our First Loving (Rack Press, 2016).

Early Life: Grubin was born in New York City and attended Manhattan Country School and The Fieldston School. She earned her undergraduate degree at Smith College.
