Budy wins poetry award
A
poem by Andrea Hollander Budy, writer-in-residence at Lyon College, has won the
2002 Ellipsis Poetry Award.
Her poem, “The Life of Inanimate Objects,” won the award, which is sponsored annually by Ellipsis: Art and Literature, the literary journal of Westminster College of Salt Lake City, Utah.
The winning poem is chosen in a “blind” competition in which the judges do not know the author’s name. Well-known poets are asked to choose the winner. This year’s judge was Philip Levine. Previous judges have been Sandra Cisneros and Stanley Plumly.
Ellipsis has been published by Westminster College since 1967. It is edited by undergraduates and publishes the work of nationally known writers.
Budy has taught at Lyon since 1991. In 1998 she was awarded the Lamar Williamson Prize for Teaching Excellence.
Her most recent book of poetry, “The Other Life,” was published in 2000.
