Winner of the 2014 Trio Award: What the Night Numbered by Bradford Tice unfolds the experience of queer individuals in search of liberation. Cloaked in Greek mythology, the tale of Cupid and Psyche is transformed into a distinct focus on the queer experience. Tice's language dares the reader to dive into the reality of queer lives, "we have bitten our tongues like raw mothers, we have birthed ourselves, hemmed by everything we have borne." He captures the complexity of the gay and lesbian civil rights movement, with a coming-of-age sequence that focuses on individuals merging into their true selves. Channeling a multitude of voices, What the Night Numbered provokes the reader's empathy, as the speakers vividly and openly express the innerworkings of their personal worlds.

"Winner of the 2014 Louise Bogan Award for Artistic Merit and Excellence."

Sweet Beast reflects a marriage wounded by the aftermath of a soldier's return from war, relating trauma in the only way it can be told: raw and with no embellishment.Tallmadge creates excruciating images onto the page, nurses them, and lets the poems bleed out. In cars kneading coyotes into asphalt, birds knifing through wind, and the torturous fear of death that transforms us into beasts, Tallmadge cuts to the bone to find love within the formidable survival instincts of our primitive self. Sweet Beast is a collection that is as rife with love as much as it is searing with fear, demanding the reader to pivot between the two.
