McMichael Gets $25K Poetry Fellowship

James McMichael, a finalist in the poetry division of last year’s National Book Awards, was cited earlier this week by the Academy of American Poets as the winner of this year’s Academy Fellowship, a $25,000 stipend for “distinguished poetic achievement at mid-career.” New Yorkers will get to hear McMichael read from his work next month, when he takes part in the Academy’s three-day Poets Forum, about which I’m sure I’ll have more to say in the next few weeks.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
