Neustadt in the News: April 2017

The new double issue of Poetry International, edited by Ilya Kaminsky, is out, and it features works by many Neustadt Prize-affiliated authors including Derek Walcott, Adam Zagajewski, Chris Abani, Li-Young Lee, Valzhyna Mort, and Kwame Dawes. Many Neustadt-affiliated authors—Mia Couto, Orhan Pamuk, and Valeria Luiselli—made the International Dublin Literary Award shortlist as well!
