NEA Fellowships in Poetry

I don't know any of this year's NEA Poetry Fellows well, but have met a couple of them -- I had a weekend workshop with Kathleen Peirce at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival a few years back (okay, maybe more than a few -- it was about 1991 or 1992, I guess), and Kevin Young is on faculty here at IU & was a guest one day in the class I took with Cathy Bowman a couple years ago.

Hah. I'm so, um, city-centric? when I read this list I keep thinking, wait, they should all be from NYC...

Hey, people from out here in flyover country get grants sometimes too!

Okay, not OFTEN. But sometimes.
