Congratulations to two past Institute guests who won 2013 Pulitzer Prizes:
Sharon Olds, who served as New York State Poet from 1998 to 2000, was awarded the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for her volume “Stag’s Leap.” The Pulitzer committee described the collection as “a book of unflinching poems on the author’s divorce that examine love, sorrow and the limits of self-knowledge.” Click here for a video of excerpts from Sharon Olds’s visit to the Writers Institute in 2004.
