Nominations for the Stanley Kunitz Medal, which is presented annually by the Worcester County Poetry Association, are now open. The award recognizes the total commitment to poetry as Kunitz lived it: teaching poetry, mentoring poets, speaking poetry, publishing poetry, and supporting organizations that nurture poetry. Past recipients include Judith Ferrara, Carle Johnson, Dan Lewis, Fran Quinn, Susan Roney-O’Brien, and Michael True.
Nominations for this year will close on March 1, 2021.
