About 50 people applied for the position, according to Jeffrey L. Horrell, Associate Librarian of Harvard College for Collections.
"By tomorrow I will have interviewed a goodly number of people who looked, on the basis of a preliminary perusal of the applications, [like they] deserve a closer look by the College library," Stoneman says. "What I will then do is set up a series of more extensive interviews with a smaller group of these people."
He said an appointment is expected by late summer or early fall.
Love in the Library
He has published two novels, a collection of poems, four books of poetry in Greek and, most recently, a book of prose poems.
Bruce Bennett, who published Haviaras's prose poem collection for the Wells College Press, said that though he is a diligent curator, Haviaras is primarily an outstanding writer.
"These poems are very distinct from other prose poems," Bennett says. "I think these are extraordinarily wide-ranging and suggestive, and fascinating and effective as poems."
