Biographie

Ukrainian-born American lyric poet whose collection Cold Morning Sky won the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. In Jewish World Records, Marya Zaturenska is connected to the record “First Jewish Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry,” based on the stored achievement of Pulitzer Prize for Poetry — Cold Morning Sky, 1938. Marya Zaturenska won the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for Cold Morning Sky. Contemporary Jewish press called her a Jewish poetess, and her son's published introduction states that her parents were Jewish. The Pulitzer Prizes lists Cold Morning Sky by Marya Zaturenska as the 1938 Poetry winner. JINFO's Jewish Pulitzer Poetry chronology begins with Zaturenska in 1938 and cites her son's statement that her parents were Jewish; this establishes her as the earliest qualifying Jewish recipient.
