The awards will be announced Wednesday, Nov. 14, in New York City. Other National Book Award prizes include fiction, non-fiction and young people\u2019s literature.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nManning, on a panel with four other judges, selected five finalists for the poetry prize from 181 submissions. They are: \u201cBewilderment: New Poems and Translations,\u201d by David Ferry; \u201cHeavenly Bodies,\u201d by Cynthia Huntington; \u201cFast Animal,\u201d by Tim Seibles, \u201cNight of the Republic,\u201d by Alan Shapiro; and \u201cMeme,\u201d by Susan Wheeler. On Tuesday, Nov. 13, finalists from all categories will give readings at The New School in New York City.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nManning, who lives in Washington County, Ky., was named to Transylvania\u2019s faculty in January and began teaching full time in September.\u00a0 He says he sees good writing coming from good thought, and that is what he hopes to teach his students.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;There is a powerful connection between reading and thinking,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If a student learns how to read with depth and focus, then he or she will most likely start thinking that way, too. And then the student\u2019s own writing will develop and mature.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nManning has published four books on poetry, including his most recent, &#8220;The Common Man,&#8221; which was one of three finalists for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. His first collection, &#8220;Lawrence Booth\u2019s Book of Visions,&#8221; selected for the 2000 Yale Series of Younger Poets. He has had his works in publications including The New Yorker, Washington Square, The Southern Review, Poetry, Shenandoah, and The Virginia Quarterly Review.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHe earned a B.A. in English from Earlham College in 1988, an M.A. in English from the University of Kentucky in 1996, and an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Alabama in 1999.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRelated links:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/11\/06\/opinion\/my-old-kentucky-conservatism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manning&#8217;s New York Times op-ed (Nov. 5, 2012)<\/a><a href=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/news\/arch_story.htm?id=716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nProminent Kentucky poet Manning joins Transylvania faculty<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEXINGTON, Ky\u2014Maurice Manning, Transylvania University English professor and writer in residence, is one of the judges selecting the 2012 National Book Award poetry prize, presented by the National Book Foundation.
