Rodney Jones, a professor of English at Southern Illinois University, has won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. The $100,000 American prize, presented to a poet with an established body of work but no great fame or success, is one of the most lucrative poetry awards in the world.
Jones’s latest collection is Salvation Blues, which gathers one hundred poems from the six volumes published in the two decades between 1985 and 2005, and includes 24 new poems.
