Other Crap

Poet C.K. Williams, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and many other honors, has been named this year's recipient of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize.

• Poetry editor Christian Wiman said, "C.K. Williams is a master at dramatizing complicated psychological states, but he is also always equally concerned with the self's relation to the larger world. More important, his poem was the only entry that didn't begin with 'There was a young man from Nantucket'"
