First Place Winner of The Poetry Box Chapbook Prize 2023
The poems in The Squannacook at Dawn range from formal verse to free verse to prose poetry and are linked by the speaker's experiences with water. While many of the poems revolve around fishing, they also explore the speaker's relationship with the loss of his father, the peace of the natural world, aging, environmental change, and spirituality.
Comments from Contest Judge, Andrea Hollander:
Each of the twenty poems that comprise The Squannacook at Dawn is so well crafted that the art is all readers experience, the craft a scaffolding that has been removed. Each poem begins with a sense of welcome and closes unpredictably, yet inevitably (i.e., no better ending seems possible). This is high praise, but it's not my only reason for selecting this manuscript as winner of The Poetry Box Chapbook Prize for 2023. Read together and in the order they appear in the collection, these twenty poems create what feels like a twenty-first poem: the chapbook itself. The poet has not only written twenty fine poems-none an imitation of another in content or form-but when read straight through, the poems provide readers with a tightly woven and beautiful verbal tapestry, each poem contributing indelibly to the chapbook's larger context or story.
