I am very grateful to the editors of Iron Horse Literary Review for selecting my poem “Rendering the Pose” as the winner of the 2019 Trifecta poetry contest. Poetry Editor Geffrey Davis’ book Revising the Storm from BOA Editions is one of my favorite collections of recent years, which made this news especially meaningful. “Rendering the Pose” is the longest poem I have written, and I worked on it (on and off) for about five years. I look forward to sharing it come June when the poem is published alongside the winners of the fiction and non-fiction categories.
