	Professor to read award-winning work By Yoko Ito-Peterson  Daily Forty-Niner A Cal State Long Beach professor will be reading his award-winning poetry compilation Thursday at the University of Wisconsin. Professor Charles Webb won the 1999 Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry from the University of Wisconsin earlier this year for "Liver," his poetry compilation. The University of Wisconsin Press also awarded him $1,000.  Webb, who has been a faculty member at CSULB since 1984, has published 10 books including fictional novels. This is the fourth award he has won for his poetry over the last two years.  The University of Wisconsin Press is "a very prestigious publishing house in the world of poetry," Webb said.  After receiving 900 entries, the Wisconsin Press narrowed the number of candidates to 20 finalists.  "These are blind competitions, so the judges don't know who the author is," said Webb, who has been a finalist of the prize twice.
