    Bangalore-born Vijay Seshadri wins the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry

    The 2014 Pulitzer Prize - Poetry

    Winner: Vijay Seshadri

    Citation: For a distinguished volume of original verse by an American author, Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) - Awarded to "3 Sections," by Vijay Seshadri (Graywolf Press),
    a compelling collection of poems that examine human consciousness, from birth to dementia, in a voice that is by turns witty and grave, compassionate and remorseless.

    Other Finalists: Also nominated as finalists in this category were "The Sleep of Reason," by Morri Creech (The Waywiser Press), a book of masterly poems that capture
    the inner experience of a man in mid-life who is troubled by mortality and the passage of time, traditional themes that are made to feel new; and "The Big Smoke,"
    by Adrian Matejka (Penguin), an imaginative work by a commanding poet who engages the history and mythology of larger-than-life boxer Jack Johnson.
