Midway Journal is pleased to announce the winners of the first annual Action/Words Poetry Contest, selected by guest judge Ruth Awad: Winners: 1st place: “The Cherry Garden” by Heeseo Lee 2nd place: “Good Mother Manifesto” by Stacy Boe Miller 3rd place: “The First Man to Fall into the Sun” by Alan Sincic Ruth Awad had this to say about the first-place winner: “This poem is alive with tenderness and yearning, reveling in the sweetness of romantic love. It is both expansive and intimate, rich with metaphor and raw with wonder, as when the author writes, ‘...trees kissed into nakedness & sharp / as ribs" and ‘I could feel all the / days breathing beneath this one.’ What a delight to delight in this garden of queer joy.” Contest Finalists: Gregory Baffuto Jenkin Benson Sadie C. Samuel Gilpin Sophie Grimes Courtney Harler DeWitt Henry Jen Knox Deborah Leipziger Diana Radovan Alex Shapiro Tanya Thamkruphat Congratulations to our winners and finalists!
