Oakland University English professor Ed Haworth Hoeppner has been awarded the distinguished 2010 Ohio State University Press Award in Poetry, a national honor, which offers publication of his manuscript by The Ohio State University Press and a $3,000 prize.

  "I'll be 60 in the fall, and perhaps the news was sweeter for my having been at things as long as I have," said Hoeppner. 

  Since 1975, he has published nearly 300 poems and two collections of poetry, "Rain through High Windows," and "Ancestral Radio."
