WSU poet wins unprecedented second critics award

Albert Goldbarth, Adele Davis Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Wichita State University, has won a second National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry for his book "Saving Lives." Goldbarth, who teaches in WSU’s creative writing program, is the only poet since 1981 to win the award for a second time.

Goldbarth’s "Heaven and Earth" won the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry.

In "Saving Lives," Goldbarth uses familiar cultural icons in his poems that examine the saving of lives through medical procedures, archaeology and book conservation.
