Priorità: Alta
World Poetry guest co-host and radio co-host Diego Bastianutti will receive the prestigious 2008 International Literary Prize May 25th in Trieste, Italy!
World Poet Diego Bastianutti just received a telegram from Italy, informing him that his book For a Fistful of Soil/ Per un pugno di terra (submitted without his immediate knowledge), has been selected by an international jury of writers as the winner of the 2008 International Literary Prize Umberto Saba, Trieste. There were other prizes awarded in separate sections for published "Novels" and for "Short Stories", and other sections for unpublished works of the same category.
Quite apart from the prize money itself, the Committee has offered to pay for his round-trip flight to Trieste, Italy, plus accommodations. The ceremony will take place on May 25.
He is clearly honoured by this prestigious international recognition, and wishes to share to share his joy with you all.
Diego will also be receiving the World Poetry Ambassador’s medallion for Italy.
On behalf of Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Mujica-Olea as well as the World Poetry Family we want to say: Congratulations Diego!
