Michelle Moncayo’s Alta California Chapbook Prize winning chapbook, Here, on this 76L, is now available in a bilingual edition from Gunpowder Press. Congratulations, Michelle!
From our distinguished final judge Richard Blanco:
“Michelle Moncayo’s poems burn strong with authentic feeling and personal icons swirling with wings, food as a form of prayer, and the poignant music of heritage. There is a radiating center to this collection, one that speaks to the power of where we come from and how we carry our origin stories with us in painful and beautiful ways. This is a voice that spoke to me with intimacy and truth.”
