Between 1950–1956, Glaze and his wife had a daughter, and renovated their house in Birmingham. One fellow hired to help paint the house was a local African-American named Earl. Glaze titled a poem after him, in which he described the renovation efforts, and included it in his first major book Damned Ugly Children. Glaze also had a close friend, William Gaither, who voluntarily helped Glaze work on the house. Years later, when he learned that Gaither had died, Glaze wrote a poem titled Bill Where Are You?, expressing his gratitude in the poem, along with a dedication. The poem appeared in his 1978 book The Trash Dragon of Shensi. Both of these poems provide a glimpse into what is one of Glaze's most enduring poetry traits, which is to write poems which reflect on people and events in his life.

Soprano
A soprano is a voice type with a vocal range from approximately middle C to "high A" in choral music, or to "soprano C" or higher in operatic music. In four-part chorale style harmony, the soprano takes the highest part, which usually encompasses the melody...

. Rorem dedicated the piece to her by having the words “For Alice” printed above the title on the official sheet music. The song has since been recorded by various singers. Glaze later wrote a poem titled Lights, dedicated it to Esty, and placed it as the very first poem in his 1978 book The Trash Dragon of Shensi. When the book came out, Glaze received a second glowing review in The New York Times

 who wrote, "He is a poet I would just like to quote and quote, there are so many fine, affecting and amusing passages".

1980s

In 1981, Glaze's book I Am The Jefferson County Courthouse was published and chosen by Library Journal as one of the best small press titles of that year. In the title poem, Glaze manages to verbally paint the image of a busy Southern courthouse of the 1950s; and compares the Prosecutor to a bull frog on a lillypad, addressing a pond of "obedient" followers who wait for a signal "to sing"

1983 brought two new plays. Love is Nothing to Laugh At, and Uneasy Lies which was reviewed in the New York Post

 by William Raidy.

By the mid-80s a book had been published and titled "Earth That Sings: on the poetry of Andrew Glaze". The volume contained selected poems from each of Glaze's prior books up to that point, and was edited by William Doreski. It contained interviews and articles about Glaze written by Steven Ford Brown, William Doreski, Theodore Haddin, Robert Wilkinson, and Carole Kiler, as well as an article titled "Pagan-Protestant: notes on growing up in Alabama" by Glaze himself.

Moving back south

Between 1988–2002, Glaze prepared four new books of poetry for publication, while he and his wife lived and worked in her hometown of Miami, Florida
Miami, Florida
Miami is a city located on the Atlantic coast in southeastern Florida and the county seat of Miami-Dade County, the most populous county in Florida and the eighth-most populous county in the United States with a population of 2,500,625...

. The first to be published, in 1991, was Reality Street. In 1997, the second, a collection of Glaze's poems titled Carnal Blessings was a finalist for the T.S. Eliot poetry prize. A third book of poems went to print in 1998 with the title, Someone Will Go On Owing, selected poems, 1966-1992, and won the SIBA Award. The book contained two poems that Maxine Kumin admitted were two of her favorites, Trash Dragon of Shensi and Fantasy Street.

In 2002, the fourth book, Remembering Thunder was released, after which Glaze and his wife moved to his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama

. This time Maxine Kumin commented, “His original and unsettling voice makes these poems a real triumph”. Since moving back to Alabama, Glaze has continued to write, and in 2004 his book Andrew Glaze: Greatest Hits 1964–2004 was published.
