The Georgia Poetry Prize A Season

A Season is a visionary meditation born out of a spiritual crisis. As the poems attempt to remake a life within the ghostly limbo into which they’ve fallen they work to reweave an intimacy between the past and the present, the “self” and its others, and between the world that remains and a world that’s been irrevocably lost. A Season is a visionary meditation born out of a spiritual crisis. As the poems attempt to remake a life within the ghostly limbo into which they’ve fallen—between self and world, sound and echo, the uncanny and the sublime—they work to reweave an intimacy between the past and the present, the “self” and its others, and between the world that remains and a world that’s been irrevocably lost. Full of strange ecstasies and waking dreams, A Season is a self-portrait as blank space, a self-portrait as continual becoming—“a house of mirrors in which every face is perpetually on its way."
