Pulitzer Prize
The Pulitzer Prize () is an award for achievements in newspaper, magazine, online journalism, literature, and musical composition within the United States. It was established in 1917 by provisions in the will of Joseph Pulitzer, who had made his fortune as a newspaper publisher, and is administered by Columbia University.

(There is a $75 entry fee, for each desired entry category.) Entries must fit in at least one of the specific prize categories, and cannot simply gain entrance for being literary or musical.

Briony Morrow-Cribbs
''Bryonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the gourd family. Bryony is its best-known common name. They are native to western Eurasia and adjacent regions, such as North Africa, the Canary Islands and South Asia. Description and ecology Bryonies are perennial, tendril-climbing, diclinous or dioecious herbs with palmately lobed leaves and flowers in axillary clusters. The fruit is a smooth, globular berry. ''Bryonia'' is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), including the tortrix moth ''Phtheochroa rugosana'' (recorded on red bryony, ''B. dioica'') and the cabbage moth (''Mamestra brassicae''). The horticultural value contributes to formation of pest and crop damage by the food plant consumption. Use by humans Bryonies are occasionally grown in gardens, sometimes accidentally, sometimes deliberately so. Some species find use in herbal medicine. Generally however, these plants are poisonous, some highly so, and may be fatal if inge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carcanet Press
Carcanet Press is a publisher, primarily of poetry, based in the United Kingdom and founded in 1969 by Michael Schmidt. In 2000 it was named the '' Sunday Times'' millennium Small Publisher of the Year. History ''Carcanet'' was originally a literary magazine, founded in 1962.

The intention was to link Oxford and Cambridge universities. Its name is an English word which means "a collar of jewels", diminutive of "carcan" (an obsolete word for a collar used for punishment), pronounced "kar'ka-net". (A much earlier use of the word was in ''The Carcanet'', an anthology published in 1828.) The magazine ''Carcanet'' had fallen on hard times by October 1967 when Michael Schmidt, a newly arrived undergraduate at Wadham Colleg ...
