Readers who have followed Jonah Winter's work in the pages of Field
and other magazines, and who know his delightful first collection,
MAINE, will welcome this lively and inventive volume. Winter's
admirers, who include poets like Charles Simic, Charles Wright, and
David Lehman (who selected MAINE for Slope Editions and wrote the
introduction), emphasize his assimilation of the Surrealist
tradition to an American landscape and a contemporary culture that
become dreamlike, surprising, poignant, and hilarious in his
capable hands. Objects and events we might never have thought
capable of poetic treatment acquire grace, beauty, and even a
certain immortality in this book. It becomes a stay against amnesia
that constitutes an enterprise both comic and heroic. Selected from
over 500 manuscript entries, this is the seventh winner of our
annual contest. The next prize entrants are invited to submit in
May 2004, and the prize winner will be announced by August.
