The New School Writing Program presents a tribute to the late poet Lynda Hull featuring Lucy Brock-Broido, Mark Doty, Elizabeth Alexander, and Robert Polito, director of the New School Writing Program.
Her works include Star Ledger: Poems, which won the 1991 Carl Sandburg Award and the 1990 Edwin Ford Piper Award, and The Only World: Poems, published posthumously by Harper Perennial in 1995. Hull served as the poetry editor at the journal Crazyhorse and was the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Illinois Arts Council. Poet David St. John wrote that “of all the poets of my generation, Lynda Hull remains the most heartbreaking, merciful, and consoling.”
