THIRD ANNUAL MARSH HAWK PRESS POETRY PRIZE
We Are Pleased to Announce that
Steve Fellner
has won Marsh Hawk Press’s Third Annual Poetry Prize for his manuscript Blind Date with Cavafy. The Prize includes a $1,000.00 award and publication of the book.
Aaron Belz and Andrea Cohen
were awarded Honorable Mentions.
Additionally, forty Finalists will be congratulated via First Class mail.
The award is given annually for a book length collection of poems of 48-70 pages and publication of the book is the following spring.
The final judge was Denise Duhamel.
Denise writes: "Steve Fellner’s poetry is spunky, raw, immediate, and utterly compelling. Blind Date with Cavafy serves up hilarious pathos and devastating humor. Bleak, deadpan, enthusiastic, earnest: Steve Fellner’s book is all of these things, sometimes all of these things in one poem, sometimes all of these things in one line. His “Self-Portrait” at the center of the book pushes the conventions of the post-confessional, transgressive impulse. The poems in Blind Date with Cavafy shimmer with vulnerability, leaps, and dizzying riffs."
