Henley (winner).Poets & Writers is pleased to announce that Genevieve Burger-Weiser, Lisabeth Burton, K.D. Henley, and Alexandra Wilder are the winners of the 2009 Amy Award.
The 14th Annual Amy Awards featured winners reading from their work as well as a guest poet. It happens that past and present individuals associated with 92Y were well represented.
Alexandra Wilder, Managing Director of the 92nd Street Y Unterberg Poetry Center, was an award winner, as was Libby Burton, 92Y Poetry Center intern last year. The featured poet, Grace Schulman, was a former Director of the Poetry Center. Lastly, Galen Williams, also a former Director of the Poetry Center and founder of Poets & Writers, was in attendance.
That’s a lot of 92Y representation, and well deserved! You can read more work from students and faculty of the 92Y Unterberg Poetry Center in Podium, a literary journal produced by the Poetry Center. The Center also has a Facebook, where you can keep up to date on events, get new content and podcasts, special deals, and more!
