Rae Armantrout,who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD)

for two decades,has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category

for her most recent book, Versed.

“I ’m delighted and amazed at how much media recogn ition that the Pulitzer brings,as

compared to even the National Book Critics Award,which I was also surprised and delighted to

win, ” said Armantrout.

“For a long time,my writing has been just below the media radar,and to have this

kind of attention,suddenl y,with my 10th book,is really surprising. ”

Armantrout,a native Californian,received her bachelor ’s degree at UC

Berkeley,where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov,and her master ’s in

creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of

Language Poets,a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used

and raises questions to make the reader think.

In March,she won the National Book Critics Award for “Versed”.

“This book has gotten more attention, ” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if

it ’s better. ”

The first half of Versed focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States

as it fought the war against Iraq.The second half looks at the dark forces casting

a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues

were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry, ” said Seth

Lerer,head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

Versed,published by the Wesleyan University Press,did appear in a larger printing

than her earlier works,which is about 2,700 copies.The new edition is scheduled to

appear in May.
