Hi everyone, <br><br>I just wanted to share the great news that my first book manuscript "The Lost Country of Sight" was just selected as the winner of the Philip Levine Prize in Poetry by CSU Fresno and Anhinga Press! The book should be out late this year or early next (perhaps as early as November based on the publication of last year's book)
