B. Lynn G. (a reader from CA) won Living the Verb (Cyberwit.net) by Fay L. Loomis. This poetry chapbook is composed in an attractive lucid and spontaneous style. The poet has fully discarded affected, tawdry and wearisome expressions in these poems. The climax of the poet’s triumph in this poetry collection is reached in moments of such intensity that the reader is completely carried away. Fay's essay "Amour Toujours" was previously published in Sanctuary.

Laura C. (a reader from NY) won Property of the Revolution (She Writes Press) by Ana Hebra Flaster. Ana Hebra Flaster was six years old when her working-class family was kicked out of their Havana barrio for opposing communism. Once devoted revolutionaries themselves but disillusioned by the Castro government’s repressive tactics, they fled to the US. This memoir celebrates the indomitable spirit and wisdom of the women warriors who led the family out of Cuba and shaped its rebirth as Cuban Americans.

Emily A. (a reader from MO) won Good in Theory (Aurora Corialis Publishing) by Cori Wamsley. This is a heartfelt and funny exploration of family, love, and the unexpected turns that shape our lives. “Good in Theory is a well-crafted, rollicking story filled with humor and romance. It is especially sure to please mystery-lovers, readers who appreciate a strong female protagonist, and anyone who laughs at science jokes," writes Ann K. Howley, author. Cori is an award-winning author of best friend stories with a side of romance.
