Magdalena Zurawski <\/strong>wins the 2016 Norma Farber First Book Award <\/strong>forCompanion Animal<\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of the book, 2016 Norma Farber judge Jennifer Moxley says:
\n\u201c\u2018Most of the day I feel things. Nobody \/ pays me, I just do it . . . .\u2019 What more perfect capsule of the lyric poet\u2019s dilemma under the spirit of capitalism? It is this dilemma that animates Magdalena Zurawski\u2019s Companion Animal<\/em>, which chronicles a redemptive, if grief-strewn, lyric journey back to poetry after an exile in prose.\u201d
\nCongrats Maggie!!! Read the rest of Moxley\u2019s remarks here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nRestless Continent<\/a> <\/em>
\nby Aja Couchois Duncan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn Aja Couchois Duncan\u2019s quest to re-envision a living mythology that gives body and voice to those vital presences that have long haunted the margins of Western knowledge and experience, we, too, are given a chance to reformulate and reassert our relationship to ground, to wind, to language, which Duncan shows us\u2014through a graceful and vigilant thinking line\u2014are all one and the same. There is an intelligence here that I\u2019ve been missing in contemporary poetry, one that writes into a we, an I, a you, a she, a he acutely aware that these categories are constantly re-directing themselves toward the unknown and are always only \u2018a fraction of.\u2019 An extraordinary debut.\u201d \u2014 Renee Gladman<\/p>\n
