Many of its members have published books, and in recent years its membership has been awarded prizes associated withNew Formalism , particularly theHoward Nemerov Sonnet Award , theNew Criterion Award and theRichard Wilbur Award . It sponsors workshops and a reading series at the Newburyport Art Association. www.newburyportarts.org.Members include Bill Coyle, Deborah Warren, David Berman, A.M.
