We Are Delighted

It is with delight that we share the latest good news. New Somerville Workshop member Nathan Hoks's collection of poems, Book of Clouds, has won the Crashaw Prize from Salt Publishing. The Crashaw Prize exists to publish "debut collections of poetry from major new talents."

Salt's editors write of this year's winners: "This list gives further credence to those suggesting we are in an age of diversity, no longer of poetics in conflict, but of poetries of significantly different trajectories existing alongside each other." (A sentiment we at the NSWS can certainly get behind!)

Three cheers for Nate!
