Essay Wins Carter Prize
My essay, “The Bone Road,” which was published in Shenandoah (Fall 2008), has just won the Thomas H. Carter Prize for the Essay for that magazine. Other writers who have won in the past include Rebecca McClanahan, Paul Zimmer, Seamus Heaney, Margot Singer, and others. In addition to the $1,000.00 booty, I will select next year’s winner.

Thanks for all your kind words. I love Red Room because now I have connected with two more writers whose works I can't wait to read. Thanks again for the words and the mojo!
Cheers!

Thanks so much for the comments! I will try to post the essay if I can. I'll try to get a pdf copy of it and bring it to Red Room.
