When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers
and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would
feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return. loved each
and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was
sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown
away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.
When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I
saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People
would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most
lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over
and pull on her hair. she never barked or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This

frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved
everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was
with us.

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego
(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent
book, "Versed".
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as
compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to
win," said Armantrout.
"For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of
attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising."

Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she
studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco
State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that
analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Versed."
"This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, "but I don't feel as if it's better."
The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it
fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own
