2012 Poetry Contest Winner
Slipstream Press is pleased to announce that Sudasi J. Clement, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the winner of its 2012 Poetry Chapbook Contest. Clement will receive a $1,000 prize, along with 50 copies of her chapbook, which is titled The Bones We Have in Common. Books have been shipped to all entrants in the contest and are also available now for purchase through the Slipstream website.
All poets who enter the Slipstream competition receive a complimentary copy of the winning chapbook along with the latest issue of Slipstream magazine.
About The Bones We Have in Common, Miriam Sagan writes writes: "These poems are truly fun to read as they roam through vital and original territory... By turns startling and beautiful, Sudasi Clement's poetry gives us a sense of cosmic play."
Dave Morrison, author of Clubland and fail, says: "This collection is ripe with stories; beautiful sad stories, hopeful dreamy stories, stories of wild wise boys, troubled men and resilient women, scenes brutal and beautiful, heartbreak, understanding, endurance and grace, the risks of love, dreams that feel like waking moments and vice versa. Sudasi Clement creates beautiful and shocking portraits with the camera of memory - these poems are rich with power and love."
Santa Fe Poet Laureate Joan Logghe praised the The Bones We Have in Common, saying: "Energy already jumping out of the table of contents to this collection of work, so utterly alive and fresh, you'll wonder where Sudasi Clement has been all your life and be glad you have this chapbook in your hands.
Sudasi Clement lives in the high desert of New Mexico and currently serves as the poetry editor for the Santa Fe Literary Review. Her work has recently appeared in Nerve Cowboy, Origami Condom, Main Channel Voices, Slipstream, and others.
