Described as one of American poetry's longtime masters of the art, Philip Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and the founder/director of The Writers Studio, a private school for fiction and poetry writing based in New York City. He is the author of several collections of poetry, including Failure (Harcourt, 2007), winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize.

After struggling with reading and writing throughout school, Schultz learned he was dyslexic at the age of 58 when his oldest son was diagnosed with the same condition. His most recent book, My Dyslexia (2011), is a memoir of struggling and succeeding with a learning disability.
