The nonfiction prize went to John Swanson Jacobs' "The United States Governed By Six Hundred Thousand Despots: A True Story of Slavery; A Rediscovered Narrative, with a Full Biography," and the poetry award was given to Janie Harrington's "Yard Show." Tessa Hulls' "Feeding Ghosts" won for best memoir.
The winners will be formally honored at a ceremony in September.
