Williams wins Pulitzer Poet C.K. Williams, lecturer with rank of professor in the Humanities Council and Creative Writing, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Repair, published in 1999 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Repair is Williams's 16th book of poetry. The 40 poems in the collection, which explore such themes as love, memory, social disorder and the natural world, were written over a period of two years--although some, he said, were begun long ago. At Princeton for the past five years, Williams teaches writing, poetry, and dramatic adaptation and translation. He also has edited collections of poetry and essays, and is the author of three works in translation, as well as the recently published Misgivings, an "autobiographical meditation." His 1987 book Flesh and Blood won the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry, and The Vigil (1996) was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Williams has also been honored with the PEN/Voelcker Career Achievement Award in Poetry and the Berlin Prize of the American Academy in Berlin. Born in New Jersey, he earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Pennsylvania. He splits his time between Princeton and Paris. Deadlines.
