Dan Bellm, a San Francisco writer, editor and translator, is one of four winners of the Anna Davidson Rosenberg Poetry Awards, granted each year for poems on the Jewish experience. Bellm won second prize, after the Italian-born Jehanne Dubrow. Two poets, Jenny Factor and Anna Elena Torres, were both awarded third prize.
Bellm, who has published three books of poetry, and the three other winners will be honored with a reception at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Morrison Library, 101 Doe Library, on the UC Berkeley campus.
The Rosenberg poetry awards are funded by a grant from the Rosenberg family and supported by the Graduate Theological Union, the Judaica Collection at the Doe-Moffitt Library, the Magnes Collection, and Zeek — A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture. The judges included Zeek’s poetry editor Yosefa Raz, last year’s first-prize winner, Yiskah Rosenfeld, and Chana Bloch and Marcia Falk, who are multilingual authors, poets and scholars.
