Michael Palmer, one of my favorite US poets, has been named the winner
of the annual Wallace Stevens Award of the Academy of American Poets;
it's worth $100,000.00. Certainly an interesting choice, as he is not
mainstream. His latest book was also shortlisted for the Griffin Prize.

Where philosophy stops, poetry is impelled to begin. He was
a man, far away from home, biting his nails at destiny.
