Read @amandaearl.bsky.social's review of @aliceburdick.bsky.social's Ox Lost, Snow Deep (pub. @anvilpress.bsky.social) in Issue 31!
I loved [it]. It is full of subversions of fixed expressions and ideas, knock-your-socks-off observations and quirky aphorisms..

2) This was the 1st of my 6 books to have ever been listed for any poetry awards. Ox made it to the longlist for the Raymond Souster Award too. I’m a poetry lifer, at it since the early 90s, writing without awards in mind & will continue. But it’s a nice encouragement for this aging poet. 🐂❄️

1) I’m so grateful that Ox Lost, Snow Deep was so deeply read & felt by the jury of the Maxine Tynes Nova Scotia Poetry Award. This citation almost made me cry. Congratulations to Cory Lavender, who won the award, & to Annick MacAskill, also on the shortlist.
