Biography

The youngest son of a Birmingham industrialist, Brockway joined the civil service in 1935 and the following year went to study at the London School of Economics. By 1940 he had joined the R.A.F. and during the war saw active service in Africa, Egypt, Arabia and Burma, achieving the rank of flight lieutenant.

In 1946 he emigrated to the Netherlands, where he had made friends, and there he began to translate English novels into Dutch, including works by Alan Sillitoe, Muriel Spark and Iris Murdoch His first poetry collection, No Summer Song, appeared in 1949. He also contributed widely to Dutch newspapers and literary periodicals and, from 1960 onwards, was publishing English translations of modern Dutch poets and placing them in British literary magazines.

In 1964 he moved back to England, continuing his literary work there until 1970, when he returned to the Netherlands. By the late 1990s he had placed at least 700 translations of Dutch poetry in English-language magazines. In 1966 he received the Martinus Nijhoff Prize for translation and in 1997 he was knighted by the Dutch government for his services to literature. His second poetry collection, A Way of Getting Through, appeared in 1995 and his last, The Brightness In Between, was published shortly before his death in 2000. Some of the poets whose work he translated into English include Rutger Kopland, Anton Korteweg, M. Vasalis, Hans Lodeizen, Gerrit Achterberg, Remco Campert, Tom van Deel, J. C. Bloem and Patty Scholten. Kopland in particular was a poet with whose work he had had a special affinity with since the 1980s, and had enjoyed a close working collaboration with him. Legacy

Since his death, the Foundation for the Production and Translation of Dutch Literature has inaugurated a biennial award, The Brockway Prize, for the translation of Dutch poetry; the first award was made in 2005. Additionally a Brockway Workshop has also been set up, to run every two years, offering more practical support to international poetry translators. Selected bibliography

High school career

As a high school senior in 2007 at Northside High School in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Burns accounted for 2,738 yards 36 touchdowns, rushing and passing. He was named All-State by the Arkansas Activities Association and was ranked as the nation's #8 "Dual-Threat" quarterback by Rivals.com. Burns was recruited heavily by Tommy Tuberville while he was the coach at Auburn and by Gus Malzahn while he was at Arkansas. Malzhan would later be his coach at Auburn and on Malzahn's coaching staff at Arkansas State. College career

Burns was a key part in Tommy Tuberville's Offense in 2007. In the 2007 Chic-fil-a Bowl, Burns ran for a 10 yard touchdown to win in OT and get a 23-20 win. After the game everybody expected Burns to be the starter in 2008, because 2007 was Brandon Cox's senior year. Burns started seven games at quarterback for the Tigers in 2008. He was moved to wide receiver prior to the 2009 season. Burns also ran the wildcat in the 2009-2010 season. Burns ran for a touchdown in the wildcat against Arkansas State; Auburn won the game 56-26. Against Ole Miss, Burns was in the wildcat and threw a touchdown pass to Cam Newton. Burns also had a key reception in the National Championship against Oregon. Newton found Burns on a long 35 yard touchdown pass, where Burns put Auburn up 7-0 which led to Auburn's win 22-19.

Besides his contributions on the field as a player, Kodi contributed with his character. Having lost the starting QB job after putting so much time and effort into it, he did not let that stop him. He accepted his move to wide receiver with dignity and grace. At wide receiver Kodi became a clutch possession performer and his leadership helped Auburn weather a tough 2010 National Championship campaign. Coaching career

In January 2012, Kodi Burns joined Gus Malzahn's staff at Arkansas State as an offensive graduate assistant.

Gus Malzahn was hired to be the Auburn head coach after Auburn went 3-9 (0-8), the worst since a 3-8 1998 season. Burns returned to his Alma Mater as a graduate assistant on Malzahn's staff.

On May 12, 2014 it was announced that Burns would coach running backs at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama
