In addition to the
four BOA authors, who were recipients of 2011 National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowships, we are thrilled to announce that translator Brian Henry was awarded an NEA fellowship to support his translation of Slovenian writer
Aleš Šteger's collection of lyric essays
Berlin. You can read more about Henry's prestigious grant
here.
The NEA fellowship will help Henry to continue his dedication to exposing English readers to the work of one of Slovenia's most promising young writers, an undertaking first begun with Henry's translation of Šteger's
The Book Things, which was published just last fall by BOA Editions.
Congratulations to Brian Henry and Aleš Šteger for their achievements!
If you have not already picked up a copy of
The Book of Things, check it out in the
BOA Bookstore Online.
