When the MacArthur Fellowships were reported this week, I was pleased to see two poets, A.E. Stallings and Kay Ryan, included among the 22 recipients. The MacArthur Fellowship supplies an award with a stipend of $500,000 to the recipient, paid out in equal quarterly installments over five years.
The announcement provided an additional delight, since Alicia Stallings was the Valparaiso Poetry Review featured poet for the Fall/Winter 2010-2011 issue, which included a group of her poems, an interview I conducted with the poet, and an essay by Angela Taraskiewicz about the poetry of Stallings. I urge everyone to revisit the issue.
Furthermore, I invite readers to examine my book review of Kay Ryan’s The Niagara River, which appeared in February of 2007 on One Poet’s Notes.
