THIS FROM THE MAY 11 ISSUE OF DUTTON'S BRENTWOOD NEWS & EVENTS


Odds and ends

Awards, awards, awards………It’s a wonder that authors have any time to write their books given the number of award dinners they must attend….

Lucille Clifton has won the 2007 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize for lifetime achievement. The $100,000 award was established in 1986 and is presented by the Poetry Foundation. The prize will be given at a ceremony at the Arts Club of Chicago on May 23. Christian Wiman, editor of Poetry magazine and chair of the selection committee, commented: "Lucille Clifton is a powerful presence and voice in American poetry. Her poems are at once outraged and tender, small and explosive, sassy and devout. She sounds like no one else, and her achievement looks larger with each passing year."
