Hat's Off!
Hats Off! to Maureen Sherbondy of Raleigh, who has been selected by the Poetry Council of North Carolina as the winner of the 2013 Oscar Arnold Young Award for NC’s best book of poetry. Her collection The Year of Dead Fathers (Spring Garden Press) was selected by judge Robert Lee Brewer from 24 entries. Brewer was impressed with Sherbondy’s ability “to assemble a collection as focused as this one without falling into repetition,” remarking that she “keeps her subject fresh and interesting throughout—providing one new layer after another.” |
