Announcing the Winner of the New Works Competition

We are proud to announce that Leslie Fried is the winner of the New Works Competition.

As the winner, Leslie receives a cash prize of $500 and opens for essayist Phillip Lopate, poet Emily Warn, actress Marya Sea Kaminski and Seattle rockers Happy Hour Hero at Laws of Attraction next Friday, March 19, at the University of Washington's Kane Hall.

About her poetry, poet Ed Skoog, the final judge of the competition, says, "I am most charmed by [her] suite of poems, which speak in an mid-evening voice about deterioration and heartbreak. The short lines are packed high and tight like a convoy of long-haul trucks heading out of town."

Wow. 

Get your tickets today, so you can see Leslie read, and check back here the week after Laws of Attraction to read Leslie's poems yourself.
