NEW YORK — The Poetry Foundation has chosen Michelle T. Boone as its new president, the first time a woman and a person of colour will be leading the wealthy, Chicago-based institution that oversees . . .
The winner will be announced on Wednesday, June 2, with the prize money split between the winning book’s author and its translator.
British author Lucy Hughes-Hallett, who is chairing the panel of judges, said the list showed that some of the most exciting new writing is going on “in the borderlands” between fiction and other genres, such as history and memoir.
Vuillard’s book is about a real 16th-century German theologian, Ravn’s is set on a spaceship in the 22nd century and Diop’s story of Senegalese soldiers in the First World War is so “wildly imaginative … when I first read it I almost thought I was having a nightmare , Hughes-Hallett said.
