We are pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of Meridian by Julie Sumner (November 2023), winner of the inaugural Wildhouse Poetry chapbook contest. The 2023 chapbook contest, con/verge/nces, was judged by the award-winning poet Jane Hirshfield, whose work and ethos exemplifies Wildhouse Poetry’s intention to publish poems that point toward our connectedness with the wider fabric of life, poems whose epiphanies remind us that our lives are subtler and more complex than we imagine.
