Description
Levitations, by Nicholas Reiner, was selected as a winner of the 2022 Alta California Chapbook Prize by series editor Emma Trelles.
“Equal parts lament, memoir, and lyric, this chapbook is written in a wholly original voice that is as accomplished as it is precise. Each poem reveals another sharply crafted layer of memory and observation—whether about family, chess, death, or how remembering is a way of keeping love intact.”
—Emma Trelles, Series Editor & Santa Barbara Poet Laureate
