Briery Creek Press is pleased to announce that the 2009 winner of The Liam Rector First Book Prize for Poetry:
Manna Sifting by Garrett J. Brown
Mr. Brown will receive an honorarium of $1000, a reading, a letter-pressed broadside of the title poem and publication by Briery Creek Press, to be released in Spring 2009.
Of Mr. Brown's winning collection, our final judge, E. Ethelbert Miller writes:
"I was impressed by the range, scope and nuance of Manna Sifting. This collection is a poetry museum with wonderful things on display, showcasing images that linger with the reader; see the last lines of "In The Stories We Tell." From John Cage to speaking Japanese, these are resonant well-crafted poems that embrace quality and excellence. The poet's words make love to a reader."
