Congratulations to Sheila Black, a recipient of the 2012 Witter Bynner Fellowship, selected by Poet Laureate Philip Levine. Commending Black on her work, Levine said, “She is a consummate poet of memory who seems able to inhabit all the various women she is and has been. The loves and losses of the child, the young woman and the mother are present in these rich lyrics and storied poems. Hers is a poetry of feeling, and the whole panoply of emotions—from love to rage—is present and earned.”
