Winner of the Hayden Carruth Award Radio Crackling, Radio Gone is a debut collection of poetry that explores multiple logics of perception, association, and interpretation. Navigating the edges where things begin to disappear, the poems inhabit border zones of transformation where memory slides into imagination, wakefulness meets sleep, and things possessed become lost.
What seemed a mystery wasin fact a choice. Insert bird for sorrow.What seemed a memory was in facta dividing line. Insert bird for wind.Insert wind for departure when everyoneis standing still. . .
Radio Crackling, Radio Gone was selected from the 1,200 submissions to the Hayden Carruth Award. By the time the anonymous manuscript was chosen as winner, the cover sheet was filled with readers' commentary: “stunning” and "lovely” and a bold “YES!”
