Carolyn Barnes Poetry Award

Dr. Jim Barnes, Distinguished Professor of Creative Writing and English, has made a generous contribution to the BYU English Department to establish the Carolyn Barnes Poetry Award as a memorial to his late and beloved wife, Carolyn.

Applicants must be an English major either in their senior undergraduate year or in the first year of the Master’s program. Applicants must be officially registered as full-time BYU students (12 credit hours) at the time of application. If a recipient changes his or her major, he or she forfeits the award.
