Judge’s Citation by Danielle Dutton


There’s such energy in this story, a really wonderful movement of thought and feeling. I felt surprised by these movements again and again, consistently delighted by what the story brought before me with each new shift, each new insight, each new image or figure. Reading it I kept thinking Where did this come from? and that’s my favorite feeling to have when I read. That shock of unrecognition. That feeling of finding something that feels right and also new.
