At the time of his death, he was Sterling Professor Emeritus of English at Yale University, having previously taught at Connecticut College, Hunter College, and the Graduate Center, CUNY. Hollander attended Columbia College of Columbia University, where he studied under Mark Van Doren and Lionel Trilling, and overlapped with Allen Ginsberg, Roone Arledge, Max Frankel, and Steven Marcus. After graduating, he supported himself for a while writing liner notes for classical music albums before returning to obtain a Ph.D. in literature. He stressed the importance of hearing poems out loud: Hollander usually wrote his poems on a computer, but if inspiration stuck him, he offered that, "I've been known to start poems on napkins and scraps of paper, too."
