2023 Marsh Hawk Press Prize Winners
The MARSH HAWK PRESS POETRY PRIZE
($1,000.00 Cash Prize and Publication of the Book)
Chosen by Mary Jo Bang
Liane Strauss: “The Flaws in the Story”
Mary Jo Bang writes: Like Penelope’s daily weaving, ripped out each night in order to keep in play the possibility of a happy ending (Odysseus’s return, Laertes death forestalled), each of these fascinating poems is part of a larger story, each an exquisitely observed vignette that pinpoints a moment of conversation, or observation, or travel, that reveals, much like a chapter in a novel might, a set of characters with moods and conundrums. As the scenes accrue, the individual points in time become an inner life made visible, a brilliant enactment of a mind talking back to the world: “I know as soon as I wake up it’s time to start rethinking everything again.” Unputadownable, as in “so gripping as to be read right through at one sitting.”
