Books of the Day: "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance."

A Duke University professor, Nathaniel Mackey, has won the Bollingen Prize, one of America’s leading awards for distinction in poetry. Mackey holds the Reynolds Price Chair at Duke, and is the previous winner of a number of significant honors for his work.

Henry Bemis Books loves poetry, and believes independent booksellers play a crucial role in making it available to the public.
