Great Regulars: Even though his money is on another poet,

Terrance Hayes "won't turn down" this year's National Book Award for Poetry if he wins it.

The Carnegie Mellon University professor cleared the first hurdle for the prize when he was named one of five finalists in poetry Wednesday by the National Book Foundation. The prizes will be awarded Nov. 17 in New York and include fiction, nonfiction and children's literature.
