From the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-macarthur-genius-grant-winners-20140916-story.html#page=1">LA Times</a>: <br />
<strong><strong></strong></strong> "The
poet, translator and University of Michigan professor won admiration
from the MacArthur Foundation for 'rendering the beauty and meaning of
contemporary Arab poetry to an English reader and highlighting the
invaluable role of literary translation in bridging cultural divides.'" <br />
<br />
<br />
Khaled Mattawa's most recent collection of original poetry, <a href="http://www.wmich.edu/newissues/titles/mattawa-tocqueville.html"><i>Tocqueville</i></a>, was published by New Issues Poetry & Prose (2010).<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<h3>
Ecclesiastes</h3>
The trick is that you're willing to help them.<br />
The rule is to sound like you’re doing them a favor.<br />
<br />
The rule is to create a commission system.<br />
The trick is to get their number.<br />
<br />
The trick is to make it personal:<br />
No one in the world suffers like you.<br />
<br />
The trick is that you’re providing a service.<br />
The rule is to keep the conversation going.<br />
<br />
The rule is their parents were foolish,<br />
their children are greedy or insane.<br />
<br />
The rule is to make them feel they've come too late.<br />
The trick is that you're willing to make exceptions.<br />
<br />
The rule is to assume their parents abused them.<br />
The trick is to sound like the one teacher they loved.<br />
<br />
And when they say "too much,"<br />
give them a plan.<br />
<br />
And when they say "anger" or "rage" or "love,"<br />
say "give me an example."<br />
<br />
The rule is everyone is a gypsy now.<br />
Everyone is searching for his tribe.<br />
<br />
The rule is you don't care if they ever find it.<br />
The trick is that they feel they can.</blockquote>

writes, "Griffiths tackled sex(uality), slavery, the strength of
women, the mark of history, and the power of language, in fierce poems
that were so memorable I return to them over and over." <br /><br />A Cave
Canem Fellow, she is the recipient of fellowships from Provincetown
Fine Arts Work Center, Vermont Studio Center, New York State Summer
Writers Institute, the Cave Canem Foundation and others. A photographer
and painter, her visual work has been published widely in both

"We loved Scott Blackwood's 2009 novel <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1431629021057631969" shape="rect" style="color: #595500;">We Agreed to Meet Just Here</a>
... and we weren't the only ones. Last week, Blackwood received a
$50,000 Whiting Writers' Award, given annually to emerging writers. The
Whiting Selection Committee singled Blackwood's novel out for "its
marvelous compression, and the elegiac, ominous yearning, the fugue of
loss and love and death that pervades the book." The former Austinite
received his MFA in Creative Writing from Texas State; <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1431629021057631969" shape="rect" style="color: #595500;">he now directs</a>
the Creative Writing Program at Chicago's Roosevelt University.
Blackwood was one of four fiction writers recognized by the foundation
this year; ten writers from fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and playwriting
are recognized annually for their "exceptional talent and promise."
Previous recipients include Denis Johnson, David Foster Wallace, Deborah
Eisenberg and Padgett Powell - not too shabby company to be keeping."</div>

Whiting
Writers' Awards are "awarded annually to ten emerging writers in
fiction, nonfiction, poetry and plays. Since 1985, the Foundation has
supported creative writing through the Whiting Writers Awards which are
given annually to ten emerging writers in fiction, nonfiction, poetry
and plays. The awards, of $50,000 each, are based on accomplishment and
promise. Candidates are proposed by nominators from across the country
whose experience and vocations bring them in contact with individuals of
extraordinary talent. Winners are chosen by a selection committee, a
small group of recognized writers, literary scholars, and editors,
appointed annually by the Foundation."</div>

Wager and performing fleas. The Haunted Mansion of Long Branch and an

A cat named Altamont. These are all that stand between a young
mathematician and madness as she attempts to make sense of her lover's
suicide. Narrow margins, you say? Not much to place between a slip of a
broken-hearted Jersey Girl and the Abyss? Indeed, it is a treacherous
twelve seconds on the quarter mile, hilarious and harrowing by turn.

The poems feel emotionally and intellectually spontaneous, as if we were present at their coming-into-being, a genuine writer-reader intimacy that's hard to achieve at any stage, let alone in a first book. The poems about childhood and adolescence are among the most powerful I've ever read. Tough, sexy, probing, tender, devoid of sentimentality, fiercely intelligent, and always a step ahead of the reader, She'd Waited Millennia is an important debut. --Chase Twichell</span></td></tr>

</tbody></table><div style="color: #ffffac; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 10pt;">It's not just a dog's life-it's a pig-cow-rat's life. In this deftly executed allegorical novel, Beig (Lost Weddings) gives an episodic, animal-centered account of the life of a young woman in rural Germany between the two world wars. Brief chapters-"Horse," "Cat," "Pig," etc.-recount the protagonist's less-than-idyllic encounters with the natural world. At birth, Hermine resembles a mutant horse; at school, she finds herself unable to write the assigned essay "Hurray, We're Slaughtering!" As a young teacher, she inadvertently causes the injury of a pupil during a spirited game based on a bear hunt, and she maims a badger with her motorbike. Disowned by her family for killing their pet goose, she is even scolded by her husband: "No one can have an animal with you around." Granted, "some days Hermine liked well enough," but most days she loses her battle with the bestiary. . . .This earthy, unsentimental novel is the perfect holiday gift for nihilists with a sense of humor. --Publisher's Weekly</span></div><div style="color: #2b3133; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
