Marshall Prize to Anne Winters

Anne Winters’ “The Displaced of Capital,” a collection about poverty and working-class life in New York City, has won the $25,000 Lenore Marshall Prize for the year’s best poetry book.

“Vivid and reflective, documentary and visionary, re-imagining the city of New York with the same urgency that ponders the opening words of Genesis, this is a passionate, artful and re-readable book,” prize judge Robert Pinsky, a former U.S. poet laureate, said Tuesday.

“The Displaced of Capital” is a follow-up to “The Key to the City,” published in 1986 and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Prize. The Marshall Prize was founded in 1975 and is co-sponsored by the Academy of American Poets and the Nation magazine, where excerpts of Winters’ work will appear.

Previous winners include Pinsky, Adrienne Rich and John Ashbery.
