D. A. Powell wins $100,000 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award


February 4, 2010—Graywolf Press is delighted to announce that D. A. Powell has won the $100,000 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award for his latest collection, Chronic. The prestigious award, founded in 1992, is given annually by Claremont Graduate University to honor work by a midcareer poet. The awards will be presented on Thursday, April 22, at the Pasadena Museum of California Art.

The panel of final judges for the 2010 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Awards were Ted Genoways, Linda Gregerson, Paul Muldoon, Carl Phillips, and Charles Harper Webb.

Graywolf Press senior editor Jeffrey Shotts was thrilled with the news. “D. A. Powell is one of the major poets of our time, and it’s wonderful to have the Kingsley Tufts Award recognize that,” he said. “Considering that Powell was selected by such a diverse committee of esteemed poets, that makes it all the sweeter. And, of course, six figures doesn’t hurt either.”

Graywolf poet Matthea Harvey won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award last year for her collection Modern Life.

“Lewis Buzbee’s heartwarming book—an ode to the raptures of browsing, and a tribute to the ingenuities of vending—rekindles and rationalizes my love for bookstores, those sometimes ramshackle dream palaces. A graceful amalgam of memoir and history, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop celebrates bibliophilic pleasures that I hope will never go out of style.” —Wayne Koestenbaum
