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."
