2022 Award Winner
Ways of Being by Sati Mookherjee
Judge Alice Derry chose Ways of Being by Sati Mookherjee of Bellingham, WA as winner.
Alice said: “I admire greatly the initial poem in its wonderful evocation of the sea, its fresh and experimental use of language, and its inclusion of the human element in what would otherwise be description.”
Praise for Ways of Being
“The poems in this award-winning collection reveal a bold voice that brings us on a tour through emotional and literal landscapes as fluid as the tides.”
“Ways of Being exposes the spaces in which we ‘wait for something to begin or for something to end’ and evokes the hours, yearning and ‘stuttered rain’ that fill them. These are visceral, wonderful poems.”
