Ron Padgett's How Long was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry. His Collected Poems won the LA Times Prize for best poetry book of 2014 and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America which awarded him the Frost medal. Seven of his poems were used in Jim Jarmusch’s film, Paterson. Padgett’s most recent collection is Dot.

Charles North has published 20 books of poems and essays, and co-edited (with James Schuyler) the poet-painter anthologies Broadway and Broadway 2. His new and selected What It Is Like headed NPR’s Best Poetry Books of the Year (2011), and his awards include two NEA Fellowships, four Fund for Poetry awards, and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grant. He is Poet-in-Residence at Pace University.
