YSU professor/poet wins Ohioana Book Award
There is nothing conventional about William Greenway, and his poetry seems to encapsulate this fact. When asked the best way to describe his impressive body of work, the YSU professor of English and Georgia native chuckled, "I'm from the south, my momma didn't love me none."
Everywhere at Once, Greenway's seventh full–length collection of poetry, was honored with an Ohioana Book Award for Poetry at a ceremony in the rotunda of the State Capitol in Columbus last fall. This is the second time the poet has received the award—his book Ascending Order was the 2004 winner—and his third accolade from the Ohioana Library, having also won the 2001 Helen and Laura Krout Poetry Award in recognition of his contribution to poetry.
"I was surprised," Greenway said. "I didn't think I would get it because I had received the award in 2004. It was nice considering the living hell I had been through since July 2005. It was a like getting a 'survivor's reward'," he said.
Greenway's wife, former English faculty member Betty, suffered a severe stroke in July 2005, just days before the couple was to return from Wales in the British Isles. She was in a coma for two months, but has since made tremendous progress toward recovery and recently moved into an independent living apartment at Park Vista North.
"Everywhere at Once is written in three parts," said Greenway. "The first is very similar to the themes in my previous writing, while the second part reflects on travel—another theme I use in almost all of my work. The third is about my wife and the stroke and its impact."
Poetry has been a consistent therapeutic tool for Greenway, who was inspired to write about familiar things by Georgia poet James Dickey.
