Great poetry still matters even in these most bellicose of times. To wit: Alice Fulton, professor of English at Cornell University, has been awarded the 2002 Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry for her 2001 book of poetry, Felt. The prestigious $10,000 biennial prize, sponsored by the Library of Congress, will be presented to Fulton on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 8 p.m. in the Mumford Room of the James Madison Building in Washington, D.C. Fulton will read from her works, and a public reception will follow. The Bobbitt prize recognizes the most distinguished book of poetry written by an American and published during the previous two years. Fulton was chosen by a three-member jury of American poets appointed in July by a selection committee composed of the librarian of Congress, the poet laureate consultant in poetry, a publisher named by the Academy of American Poets and a literary critic nominated by the Bobbitt family.
