DESCRIPTION

Poetry. Winner of the Bright Hill Press 2015 Poetry Competition, selected by Alice B. Fogel, New Hampshire Poet Laureate, and Bertha Rogers, Editor in Chief, Bright Hill Press. “Without autobiographical impulse but not without personal pronouns, Caroline Morrell’s non-narrative poetry captivates by image, rhythm, and a suggestion of object over subject. This work surprises at every turn, and rewards an intrigued delving. FINAL FORT’s oceanic undertow is gorgeous and dangerous, propelled by an urgency of strangeness that reveals more slant than so many others’ poems miss when they attempt to tell us straight. These poems ‘feed [us] to the seemingly empty space’ where then our minds ‘will bouquet.'” —Alice B. Fogel
