National Book Critics Award Finalist

Reginald's essay collection, Orpheus in the Bronx: Essays on Identity, Politics, and the Freedom of Poetry, has just been named a finalist for the award for criticism by the National Book Critics Circle. I'm obviously saddened that he didn't live to see this honor, but I'm please nonetheless by the positive attention this book of his has received. Robert Philen

  1. Robert, though I am saddened that Reginald could not know of this himself, I am so glad to hear that his thought about poetry has been recognized in this way.
