We would like to thank the multitude of talented poets that submitted their collections for our award. We were delighted by the robust response to our inaugural Poetry Award and lamented our obligation to select only one winning recipient. Fortunately, that particular task fell to the inimitable poet, Zack Rogow, to whom we are greatly indebted for his meticulous scrutiny of the top ten candidates, the selection of finalists, and the naming of the winning collection. So without further ado…
