The poet Louise Glück has been selected as the recipient of the 2008 Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets. The $100,000 prize recognizes “outstanding and proven mastery in the art of poetry.” Brigit Pegeen Kelly was named recipient of the Academy Fellowship, which provides a $25,000 stipend. The academy’s board of chancellors, which consists of 14 eminent poets, selects the award and fellowship recipients. Robert Pinsky, a chancellor, said in a statement, “Louise sometimes uses language so plain it can almost seem like someone is speaking to you spontaneously — but it’s always intensely distinguished.”
