Hardison, Jr.  Poetry Prize, and other honors, among them the inclusion of his work in "Best American Poetry" and "Pushcart Prize" anthologies.  His book "Creatures of a Day" was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award for poetry.  He attended public school in Spring Branch (at that time, outside Houston, Texas; now incorporated into the city), Princeton University (BA Spanish and Portuguese), and Stanford University (MA in English and Creative Writing; PhD in Comparative Literature).  Before moving to Northwestern University, he taught creative writing at Princeton and Columbia.  At Northwestern, he was the editor of "TriQuarterly" magazine from 1981 to 1997, and co-founded TriQuarterly Books (after 1997, an imprint of Northwestern University Press).  As the editor of "TriQuarterly", he edited or co-edited the special issues "Chicago" (1984), "From South Africa: New Writing, Photography and Art" (1987), "A Window on Poland" (1983), "Prose from Spain" (1983), "New Writing from Mexico" (1992), and others, as well as many general issues of the magazine.  He edited two works of William Goyen (1915-1983): the 50th Anniversary edition of "The House of Breath" and the Goyen's posthumously published second novel, "Half a Look of Cain" (both published by Northwestern University Press).  In 1989, he was one of a group of co-founders of the Guild Literary Complex (Chicago), a literary presenting organization, where he continues to volunteer, and he is a member of the large team that is creating the American Writers Museum (Chicago; opening in 2017). Alexandre Hébert (4 March 1921, Alvimare, Seine-Maritime - 16 January 2010), was a French activist, anarchist and trade unionist.  He had a pivotal role in the accession of anarchists to the French trade-unions congress Workers' Force (CGT-FO).  He became secretary of the departmental union of "Loire Atlantique", from its inception, as well as Raymond Patoux, secretary of the departmental union of "Maine et Loire", as shown by the research "Libertaires et syndicalistes révolutionnaires dans la Confédération Générale du Travail - Force Ouvrière (1946-1957)" by Guillaume Trousset, and"L'Union Départementale CGT-Force ouvrière de Maine et Loire de 1948 à 195" by Manuella Noyer.  He played an important role in the accession to these unions of militants of the autonomous "Fédération de l'Education Nationale" in 1982, 1983 and 1984.  Its activities of militant trade unionism had been permanently in the style set out by Fernand Pelloutier in the letter to his anarchist friends "Lettre aux anarchistes" in 1899.  He didn't cease to fight against all the followers (official and unofficial) of trade unionism who were subservient to political parties, Christian trade unionism, autonomous trade unionism, partisan trade unionism, and all varieties of company sponsored or integrated trade unionism; he could never get along with the followers of all these sorts of trade unionism!  A fighter for workers' emancipation in all circumstances, he did not hesitate to separate himself from some of his anarchist fellows who took another way, including that of joining the varieties of Christian trade unionism.  As a militant anarchist, he was of those who reconstructed the anarchist movement after the second world war, through the "Fédération anarchiste"; in 1954, he was one of those who reconstructed the "Fédération anarchist" destroyed by the Leninist action of Georges Fontenis; in 1961, he contributed with his followers of the "Groupe Fernand Pelloutier" to the publication of the news bulletin L'Anarcho-syndicaliste, prelude to the constitution of the Union des anarcho-syndicalistes.  Not having any sectarianism, he tried at all times to gather together the activist workers anxious to preserve the independence of trade unions; a friend of Pierre Boussel alias Pierre Lambert, he certainly helped the abandonment by the members of his Trotskyist party of the Marxist–Leninist-Trotskyist idea of the need to link the unions to the “revolutionary party”.  Free-thinker, secular activist, and rationalist, he took part in the initiative of the l'Appel aux laïque against the policy concerning the public schools and the institutions of the Republic followed by the President of the Republic François Mitterrand. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8, 1900 – August 16, 1949) was an American author and journalist.  One novel by Mitchell was published during her lifetime, the American Civil War-era novel, "Gone with the Wind", for which she won the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 The American Writers Association (AWA) was an organization formed in 1946 in opposition to an attempt to introduce a form of trade unionism for authors.  Its members included writers such as Bruce Barton, John Dos Passos, John Erskine, James T. Farrell, John T. Flynn, Rupert Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Clarence Budington Kelland, Clare Boothe Luce, Eugene Lyons, Margaret Mitchell, Ayn Rand, Dorothy Thompson and Louis Waldman. The League of American Writers was a so-called "mass organization" initiated by the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) in 1935 and terminated in January 1943.  A small and elite organization, the League included professional novelists, playwrights, poets, journalists, and literary critics.  Despite the prominent role of the CPUSA in the establishment and control of the League, one should "not" make the assumption that any particular individual on this list was a "Communist," however.  The members of the League of American Writers ranged from active and open Communist Party members to "fellow travelers" who consciously followed the party's political line without being subject to the formal discipline of party membership to individuals who merely sympathized with one or another broad policy objective being touted by the League, such as stopping the spread of fascism or supporting the cause of the Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War.  Most members belonged to the latter group. The Grunwick dispute was an industrial dispute involving trade union recognition at the Grunwick Film Processing Laboratories in Chapter Road, Dollis Hill, Willesden, London, United Kingdom, that led to a two-year strike between 1976 and 1978.  During a decade of industrial unrest, the Grunwick dispute became a cause célèbre of trade unionism and labour relations law, and "at its height involved thousands of Trade Unionists and police in confrontations, ...over 500 arrests on the picket line and frequent police violence."  The total of 550 arrests made during the strike was at the time the highest such figure in any industrial dispute since the General Strike of 1926.  Journalist Paul Foot described the dispute as "a central battleground between the classes and between the parties."  The dispute was reported nightly on the national television news, depicting the often violent clashes between the strikers and the Metropolitan Police's Special Patrol Group.  Grunwick was the first time that this paramilitary police unit had been deployed in an industrial dispute.  The mostly female, immigrant, East African Asian strikers – dubbed "strikers in saris" by the news media – were led by Jayaben Desai, whose membership of the union was later suspended following her hunger strike outside the Trades Union Congress (TUC) headquarters in November 1977.  This was also the first dispute where the majority of strikers were from an ethnic minority and still received widespread support from the labour movement – previous disputes involving immigrant workers which had taken place in Leicester and Southall had "remained marginalised" and had even led to "open and ugly racism on the part of white union members and their leaders." The Native Writers' Circle of the Americas (NWCA) is an organization of Native American writers, most notable for its literary awards, presented annually to Native American writers in three categories: First Book of Poetry, First Book of Prose, and Lifetime Achievement.  The awards are voted upon by Native American writers, making it one of the few literary awards presented to Native Americans by Native Americans. The Shipping Federation was an association of employers in the shipping industry.  It was formed in 1890 in response to the London dock strike of 1889 and the successes of the National Union of Seamen and various dockers' unions.  The main function of the Federation was to co-ordinate the actions of shipowners so as to counter trade unionism and strike action.  Its membership was largely made up of firms operating trampships and small vessels.  Most ocean liner firms remained outside the Federation until the 1920s, whilst those in Liverpool did not link up with the Federation until it combined with their own local Employers' Association in 1967.  In 1975 the Shipping Federation combined with the Chamber of Shipping to form the General Council of British Shipping, but reverted to the name Chamber of Shipping in 1991.
