Annie Proulx, for Brokeback Mountain!
No, no. We kid.
THE 2006 RMR CHAPBOOK CONTEST WINNER...AS CHOSEN BY RODNEY JONES...IS...
ON U.S. 6 TO PROVIDENCE
BY LOU SUAREZ!!
Jones told us he was drawn to On U.S. 6 to Providence not just for its intelligence, humor, and confidence, but for its emotional risk as well. Those are meat-and-potatoes attributes, that's for sure, and we're confident readers won't push away from the table hungry after sitting down to sample what Suarez has to offer in these poems.
Thanks to those who submitted -- more than double the volume of last year's contest! -- and we sincerely hope you'll try us again. Lots that was very, very publishable in this batch.
Encouraging and daunting at the same time -- so much good work, so few good venues.
But we're fighting the good fight and we encourage you to join us!
