Selected Poems
NIELS LYNGS is the author of four collections of poetry in Danish. His newest book MORFEUS is a fascinating and striking collection of poetry and essays on poetics designed by the author as a unique book-object. Published in 2004 to much critical acclaim, MORFEUS is a book with multiple layers of meaning and possible interpretations that, like Pencil of Rays and Spiked Mace, ultimately showcases its author as a unique and daring voice in European literature. GREGORY PARDLOs collection Digest (Four Way Books) won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Digest was also shortlisted for the 2015 NAACP Image Award and is a current finalist for the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award. His other honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts; his first collection Totem was selected by Brenda Hillman for the APR/Honickman Prize in 2007. Pardlos poems appear in The Nation, Ploughshares, Tin House, The Norton Anthology of Contemporary African American Poetry, Best American Poetry, and elsewhere. Pardlo lives with his family in Brooklyn.
