Four Way Books is delighted to congratulate Sarah Manguso, author of Siste Viator on receiving the highly sought after Rome Prize from the American Academy , chosen by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Sarah Manguso will spend a year at the American Academy in Rome.
Of Siste Viator , Dave Eggers has commented: "Sarah Manguso, like her spiritual siblings David Berman and Tony Hoagland, is a friendly kind of savior and guide. Her writing is gorgeous and cerebral (imagine Anne Carson) but she doesn't skimp on the wit (imagine Anne Carson's ne'er-do-well niece)."
Congratulations, Sarah.

Emerson Would Have Liked Four Way Books
* National Poetry Month on the Four Way Books blog *
John Gallaher's The Little Book of Guesses and Jeffrey Harrison's Incomplete Knowledge were included in David Kirby's Atlanta Journal Constitution National Poetry Month roundup:
"I'd like to think Emerson would also be entertained by a second batch of books I took pleasure in this year [...] In two cases, the titles themselves give away the author's pose of uncertainty: There's "Incomplete Knowledge" by Jeffrey Harrison, for example (Four Way Books, $14.95), as well as John Gallaher's "The Little Book of Guesses" (Four Way Books, $14.95)."
