Poet C.K. Williams, a lecturer at Princeton University, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Repair , a collection of nearly 40 poems spanning such themes as love, memory, social disorder and the natural world.
Williams, a lecturer with the rank of professor who has been at Princeton for five years, teaches writing, poetry, and dramatic adaptation and translation. He wrote the poems in Repair over a period of two years, although some were begun long ago, he said.
"Without the Pulitzer Prize, C.K. Williams was one of the most distinguished poets of his generation - I think one of the best two or three poets writing in America," said poet Paul Muldoon, director of Princeton's creative writing program. "What's nice is to see a general recognition of that."
