"Looking Back at 75 Years of the National Book Awards"
"This year, the National Book Foundation celebrated the 75th anniversary of the National Book Awards. The modern incarnation of the awards was launched in 1950 by the American Book Publishers Council, the American Booksellers Association, and the Book Manufacturers Institute, after a seven-year initial run under the ABA alone that began in 1936. Since then, the awards have been, for the better part of a century, among the most coveted and prestigious prizes in American literature—comprising, alongside the National Book Critics Circle Awards and the Pulitzer Prizes, what some have called the U.S.’s 'literary triple crown.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Mary-Alice Daniel on Object Lessons
"Science is one language articulating the esoteric fabric of spacetime. Verse is another valence. Astrophysics and poetry pair prettily. Both concern themselves with the behavior and spectacle of celestial bodies; with the margins of massive matters alongside the infinitesimal; the inconceivable infinite. Dreamers in the two disciplines speculate alternate & extra dimensions. We enlist anomaly. We trouble in stasis. We peer into—across—the reality tunnel: the entangled expanse between what you see and I perceive." |
