Winner of the 2026 Poetry Business International Book & Pamphlet Competition, judged by Kim Moore
I read this pamphlet in one long gulp, drawn in by the way the poet weaves loss and love, joy and fear into beautifully sparse meditations on fatherhood. Through explorations of NCT classes, night feedings and the loss of an unborn child, every poem is alive to the music of language, examining what it means to become a parent, where the familiar becomes strange and the strange becomes known. These are memorable, carefully crafted and tender lyrics. - Kim Moore
