Robert Wood Lynn Wins 2021 Yale Younger Poets Prize
"Of his recent win, Robert Wood Lynn says: 'I am so grateful for this honor and to be included in this esteemed series. My manuscript, Mothman Apologia, explores the complications of being young in a rural area, an experience that resists the pastoral and the provincial. I want to reach people with that.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Reginald Dwayne Betts on the Million Book Project
"This is a big and funky and radical project. And so it gets walked out slowly....I think a lot of people who criticize different kinds of projects also don't understand what we mean. We’re putting a million books in prisons, and that's not even what I would imagine to be the kind of scale that I want a project like this to exist on. We want this Freedom Library to serve the same purpose as the libraries you find in people’s homes." |
