Default The 2018 New Criterion Poetry Prize

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to say that my first book, Petty Theft, has won the 2018 New Criterion Poetry Prize. Here's a link to the announcement:

https://www.newcriterion.com/bookstore?mode=poetryprize

It's been some time since I've called myself a regular here, so I hesitate to post this news. However, several poems in the collection benefited from this board, and I wanted to thank everyone who encouraged and challenged my writing along the way. So, thank you.

All best,
Nick
