{"id":5,"count":5,"description":"Kimiko Hahn is author of ten collections of poetry, including <em>The Ghost Forest: New &amp; Selected Poems<\/em> (W.W. Norton, 2024) which plays with given forms while creating new ones, and, in doing so, honors past writers. Previous books <em>Foreign Bodies, Toxic Flora,<\/em> and <em>Brain Fever<\/em> were prompted by fields of science; <em>The Narrow Road to the Interior<\/em> takes title and forms from Basho\u2019s famous journals. Reflecting her interest in Japanese poetics, her essay on the zuihitsu was published in the <em>American Poetry Review<\/em>. In 2023, Kimiko was named a Chancellor for the Academy of American Poets and received The Poetry Foundation\u2019s Ruth Lilly Lifetime Achievement Award. Additional honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, PEN\/Voelcker Award, Shelley Memorial Prize, Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize, American Book Award, and NEA Fellowships.
