PEN Award for Lysheha Poems

[Robert De Lossa]

HURI Publications is pleased to announce that James Brasfield and Oleh
Lysheha received the 2000 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation for "The
Selected Poems of Oleh Lysheha," published by the Harvard Ukrainian
Research Institute and distributed by Harvard University Press. The award
was given last night at the Lincoln Center in a ceremony featuring some of
the nation's foremost writers, playwrights, editors, and publishers. For
information on the award and event, please go to
http://www.pen.org/awards/awards00.html. If you are interested in the book,
please look at
http://www.hup.harvard.edu/F99Books/catalog/collected_lysheha.html. The
book also has won the American Association for Ukrainian Studies
Translation Prize; Lysheha has been selected for the Harbourfront
International Authors Festival in Toronto in October; and the poem "Swan"
has been selected for the XXIV Pushcart Prize Anthology. This is a singular
success for Ukrainian literature on the world stage...and rightly so, since
this is literature that transcends national borders and prejudices.

Enjoy,

Rob De Lossa, HURI
