Finalist in Rattle’s $15,000 Poetry Prize

Thrilled to announce I am one of the top ten finalists for Rattle’s $15,000 Poetry Prize contest, which received 5,169 entries this year, totaling to approximately 20,000 poems submitted for consideration.

Poems from this contest will be featured in issue #82 of Rattle. I am also eligible for the $5,000 Readers’ Choice Award, selected by subscriber vote in February.

Eight additional poems, by myself and other finalists, were selected for standard publication and offered a space in the open section of a future issue.
