Ballard Spahr Prize 2023 Winner : Poems
Selected by Maggie Smith for the 2023 Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry, this debut collection of poems explores the aftermath of history\u2019s most powerful forces: devotion, disaster, and us.
Rooted in the Gulf Coast, A History of Half-Birds measures the line between love and ruin. Part poet, part anthropologist, Caroline Harper New digs into dark places\u2014a cave, a womb, a hurricane\u2014to trace how violence born of devotion manifests not only in our human relationships, but also in our connections to the natural and animal worlds. Everywhere in these pages, tenderness is coupled with brutality: a deer eats a baby bird, a lover restrains another. \u201CI promised / a love poem,\u201D New proclaims, then teaches us about the anglerfish, how it \u201Cattracts its mate / and prey with the same lure.\u201D
