Tracy K. Smith wins the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry

April 16, 2012—Graywolf Press is pleased to announce that Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith has been selected as the winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The winners were announced today by the Pulitzer Prize Board and Columbia University, and the prizes will be presented to the winners at a luncheon on May 21st at Columbia University.

Of her win, Tracy K. Smith said, “This news is particularly elating, because I think of the book as a tribute to my father, who passed away in 2008.”

“This is very well deserved,” said Fiona McCrae, director and publisher at Graywolf Press. “Tracy K. Smith is a poet of great poise and grace that has grown from book to book. All of us at Graywolf are absolutely delighted about this recognition."
