Boerum Hill Poet Tracy K. Smith Wins Pulitzer
Before too long, every Brooklyn neighborhood will have a patron Pulitzer winner.
Last year, novelist Jennifer Egan brought her prize for fiction home to Fort Greene, and now the literary glory has traveled across Flatbush Avenue to hover above the Boerum Hill residence of poet Tracy K. Smith.
The local author was honored Monday with the Pulitzer Prize for poetry for her latest collection, Life on Mars.
