Carrie Conners’ Luscious Struggle was a finalist for the 2020 Paterson Poetry Prize. The Poetry Center at the Passaic County Community College sponsors the annual prize.
“I am floored to be part of this list of poets,” Carrie told BHB.
Congratulations to Carrie and all poets who placed for this prize!
A recent “Poetry & Protest” feature by Sheila Black listed Kathi Wolfe’s Love and Kumquats amongst must-read books that are “both beautiful and capable of delivering that charge of energy that comes from a thing seen or expressed purely, which stimulates, in turn, joy for the reader.”
Read the full feature at the Poetry Society of America.
Carrie Conners recently took part in “Poetry During a Time of Crisis,” a virtual poetry reading series produced by the West Virginia Humanities Council. Carrie read “Sex Ed,” which appears in Luscious Struggle.
John Adam Wasowicz, author of Jones Point, and Derek McGinty, veteran news anchor and voice of the Jones Point audiobook, will appear live for a virtual event hosted by One More Page Books and radio station WPFW.
