  • The Center for Book Arts announces Luisa A. Igloria as the 2018 winner of its Letterpress Chapbook Competition, selected by former US Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey, who writes: “What Is Left of Wings, I Ask is a lovely, piercing book of distances, the longing engendered by displacement, resilience in the face of sorrow, of ‘gathering darkness,’ and the nature of home—what it means to leave one for another. These are poems rooted in a haunting and quintessential American experience.”
