on Mars by Tracy K. Smith has been selected as the winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The

University, and the prizes will be presented to the winners at a luncheon on

Of her win, Tracy K. Smith said, “This news is particularly elating, because I think of the book as a tribute to my father, who passed away in 2008.”
“This is very well deserved,” said Fiona McCrae, director and publisher at Graywolf Press. “Tracy K.
Smith is a poet of great poise and grace that has grown from book to book. All

By Joanna Rawson
“Each open flower is an overthrow. Every instance of
birdsong decries the cruel suicides. In Joanna Rawson’s Unrest, nothing less than the entire world is at risk—risk of
catastrophe, risk of both hellish and heavenly transformations. With visionary
ardor, with devotional precision, Rawson is writing poetry addressed to our
deepest concerns.”
