Poetry Chapbook Award Winner
The Fourth Annual Camber Press Poetry Chapbook Award has been won by Sally Albiso of Port Angeles, Washington. Steve Orlen was our final judge this year, and selected Newsworthy from among other excellent submissions. 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."

You can learn more about the collection in the press release.
