Four of the most prestigious poetry prizes went to African-American women this year. Some say the accolades are well overdue. Fueling this trend are a growing number of literary organizations that nurture the work specifically of black writers.

Who were the women, what prizes did they win and for what books? |

(Interesting...I googled "Black women" and "poetry prizes" and mostly came up with the NPR story and links to the NPR story. But I guess if folks don't want to listen, they just don't want to listen...) |

(If you can find the story someplace besides NPR I will listen.
Those assholes get my pressure up. I can see those weak kneed, spineless frustrated hippies now, burning banana incense and drinking chamomile tea and eating bran muffins and picking the raisins out because their birdlike throats are too narrow to swallow them) |

Who cares whether YOU listen to poetry by black women on NPR, chrishayden?
If you'd stop stuffing your face, maybe your pressure would go down.  |
