As many of you already know, I’ve been working with the Indie Lit Awards for 2011 on as director of the Poetry panel. This was the first year for an award in the poetry category, and I think the team picked the right two collections for the winner and runner-up slots.
This year’s winner is:
Laurie Soriano for Catalina (also available for Kindle), which was published by Lummox Press. Please check out these videos of her reading from the collection. Stay tuned to the Indie Lit Awards for our interview with Laurie.
The runner up in the poetry category was Edward Nudelman‘s collection, What Looks Like an Elephant, also from Lummox Press.
For the list of Fiction, Bio/Memoir, GLBTQ, Mystery, Nonfiction, and Speculative Fiction, please click on the Indie Lit Awards button in this post.
Congrats to all the winners, including Aine Greaney for Dance Lessons, which I reviewed here and who offered a look at her writing process after the novel is published, in the fiction category.
