An accolade just in time for author Patricia Lockwood: she’s now 40, no longer eligible to be proposed for a Dylan Thomas Prize. By Porter Anderson, Editor-in-Chief | @Porter_AndersonLockwood: ‘I’m Over the Moon’In Wales, Swansea University’s £20,000 (US$24,470) Dylan Thomas Prize —a 16-year-old program for writers who are 39 or younger—has named the American author Patricia Lockwood its 2022 winner. The prize has its cutoff at age 39 because that’s the age at which Dylan Thomas died. As our regular readers know, the nearest accolade in the Dylan Thomas’ bracket—younger writers, professionally published—is the Sunday Times Charlotte Aitken Trust Young Writer of the Year Award.
