Eliot Prize. Hirshfield’s honors include a Poetry Center Book Award and fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Academy of American Poets, among others. She has taught at Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Duke University, Bennington College, and elsewhere.
