Eugene Ruggles, a poet of great heart best described as “a wanderer in search of the American conscience,” was born December 4, 1935 in Pontiac, Michigan and died in Petaluma, California June 3, 2004. A tireless promoter of the art of poetry and a staunch supporter of all of its practitioners, Eugene Ruggles organized hundreds of well-attended poetry readings to support the causes of youth, peace and justice he believed in so passionately. His book, The Lifeguard In The Snow (University of Pittsburgh Press Pitt Poetry Series 1977) won the Great Lakes Colleges Association Award in Poetry for 1978, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

About the Poems of Eugene Ruggles by Mike Tuggle
About the Poems of Eugene Ruggles
Muriel Rukeyser put it succinctly in a blurb on the back of his only book:
These poems have been gathering power and music until The Lifeguard in the Snow is here in full mastery. Intimate courageous, wester, it is a fresh gift to American Poetry.
Re-reading this collection thirty-one years after its publication, this is still true. And I suspect it will be a fresh gift thirty years from now.
It can truly be said of Eugene Ruggles that all of his poems are love poems.

Progress On Gene's Manuscript
The University of Pittsburgh Press has said to Ruggles literary executor Delia Moon they are not interested republishing The Lifeguard in the Snow, as they did publish it as part of Pitt Poetry Series in 1977.
Delia is requesting that they verify this; and if so, she may submit it to another publisher; or reprint it herself, in a limited edition format; and "then as part of a trilogy with two other manuscripts of his."
