Each, year, Marsh Hawk Press awards one of the grandest prizes in poetry: $1,000 plus the publication of the winning book, a collection of poetry. The contest is judged by a poet of national stature, and the winner's name and the title of the winning book are announced nationally.
Not a bad deal!
This year, the winner is Karin Randolph, an ex-painter turned writer. She has had one-person shows of her art work in Chicago, New York and Germany. She was founder and editor of the poetry journal, Mind the Gap, which featured British and American poetry. Most recently she was a finalist in the 2007 National Poetry Series. This year, she celebrates her role as winner of the 2007 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize for her manuscript Blitz.
