Grad student wins Henry Braun Memorial Poetry Prize, Daily Bulldog reports
The Daily Bulldog reported Reuben Dendinger, a master’s of arts candidate at the University of Maine, and Bethany Wicks, a creative writing student at the University of Maine at Farmington, were chosen as the co-winners of the 2015 Henry Braun Memorial Poetry Prize. The $1,000 prize, to be split between Wicks and Dendinger, was established this year by the hundreds of people who contributed to the Henry Braun Memorial Poetry Fund as a way of honoring the life and work of poet Henry Braun, according to the article. Dendinger graduated from UMaine with degrees in English and history, and started his master’s program this fall studying medieval literature and assistant teaching, the article states. He said the poetry prize “was very, very generous. I was really blown away by it.”
