Poetry Award Winner Announced!
In a blind competition, Stuart Dischell has chosen Nicholas Gulig of Bangkok, Thailand as winner of the sixth annual Camber Press Poetry Chapbook Award. Lazure's manuscript West of Center earns him the $1000 prize, publication, and author's copies. Publication is scheduled for Winter 2012. Thanks to all writers who submitted some truly memorable poetry manuscripts. Our announcement was delayed this year by staffing problems, relocation, a car accident, unrelated illness, and the loss of our charitable funding. To atone for our sins, we have suspended our awards until we publish all titles we are currently committed to. Thank you for your continued support. Your continued purchasing of Camber Press titles keeps us going through these hard times.

Lazure's story "Dry Dock" earns her the $1000 prize, publication, and author's copies. Publication is scheduled for July. Thanks to all writers who submitted a broad range of fine work. Our announcement was delayed this year by Mr. Kinder's illness. We wish him a continued speedy recovery.
Now Available
Sally Albiso's Newsworthy, was chosen by Steve Orlen as the winner of the Fourth Annual Camber Press Poetry Chapbook Award. It is now available.
Mr. Orlen writes:
"From simple facts, bare profiles garnered from newspapers, these quietly eloquent poems enter the essence of human frailty, transgression, and otherness. They are less about the individuals than about the correlations between their lives and ours — that is, the themes are what shine out, line after line."
