The poem below won 1st prize in our 2020 Summer Contest in poetry. Here’s a statement from judge Ashley M. Jones.
This is a poem that took me by the most spectacular surprise—I’m a poet who loves to play with form, and I think this form illuminates the content beautifully. How can one recount the things that hurt us, or the things that made us? It is a maze in our minds, and this poem shows us that.
