1. Puzzle #144 answer: AUGUST WILSON

Correct entries: 78


Shortest explanation: Level 1 meta but the grid was a bear to get through! Find the "pens" of five like letters surrounding another letter, mostly on the left and right columns. The pens spell out FENCES, and the enclosed letters spell AUTHOR. You may already know it, or a quick search to Mr. Google shows us that the author of the Pulitzer-winning "Fences" is the timely AUGUST WILSON, our answer to the meta.

2. This should be a Level 2 or maybe a Level 2.25 once you do what you have to do.

Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!
