the National Book Award, <em>School of the Arts</em> (2005), and <em>My
Alexandria</em> (University of Illinois Press, 1993), which received the

<p>About Doty's poetry, Academy Chancellor Gerald Stern recently said:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'>
<p>"Mark Doty writes with absolute exactitude, with one eye on the
ideal or absolute and one on the real; the ghost of Walt Whitman on one
hand, and a laundromat on 16th Street in New York, on the other. There is
not a finer, more delicate, more sublime poet writing today in the English
language. It's a poet's job to show us what we knew but never saw before;
and it's a poet's job to tell us over and over what love is. Doty is this
poet."<o:p></o:p></p>

California in 1948. He received his M.F.A. from the Iowa Writers' Workshop
in 1990 and has since then written many collections of poems including, <em>Half
of the World in Light: New and Selected Poems</em> (University of Arizona,
2008), a recipient of the PEN/Beyond Margins Award, and <em>Crashboomlove</em>

<p>About Herrera's poetry, Academy Chancellor Sharon Olds recently said:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'>
<p>"Juan Felipe Herrera is a poet of intense passion, imagination,
empathy, and wit. And he lets each poem take him where it will, into its
own inward strangeness and outward clarity. I came across Juan Felipe
Herrera's 'Inside the Jacket' during a time of upheaval in my life, when I
needed to be aware of the full range of what I was feeling, and I did not
know how. I would say the poem over and over to myself, and its love and
anger and beauty kept me company, and empowered me."<o:p></o:p></p>

Waldman is one of the contemporary world's greatest writers. Her lifelong
commitment to an expansive poetics and to an open-spirited, generous, and,

<p>"These men and women must be chosen from amongst literary persons

<p>The Academy of American Poets' Board of Chancellors elects the

Penn Warren, and James Merrill, among others. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong>About the Academy of American Poets</strong><br>
The Academy of American Poets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded
in 1934 to foster appreciation for contemporary poetry and to support
American poets at all stages of their careers. For over three generations,
the Academy has connected millions of people to great poetry through
programs such as National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in
the world; <a href="http://Poets.org">Poets.org</a>, the most popular site
about poetry on the web, presenting a wealth of great poems, audio
recordings, poet biographies, essays, and interactive discussions about
poetry; the Poetry Audio Archive, capturing the voices of contemporary
American poets for generations to come; <em>American Poet</em>, a biannual
literary journal; and an annual series of poetry readings and special
events. The Academy also awards prizes to accomplished poets at all stages
of their careers—from hundreds of student prizes at colleges nationwide to
the Wallace Stevens Award for lifetime achievement in the art of poetry.
