Richard Wilbur Wins Ruth Lilly Prize, $100K

I originally had a longer item about Richard Wilbur’s $100,000 Ruth Lilly Prize from the Poetry Foundation, but then my browser crashed and took the first draft with it. So you’ll have to settle for the Foundation’s interview with Wilbur, a New Yorker article about his Collected Poems, and his profile at the Academy of American Poets, where you can also hear him read from his poem “The Prisoner of Zenda.”
