Accolades
1 Minute Read Time
The past few weeks have brought some good news for those connected to Cincinnati Review:
Trophy, by Michael Griffith, our fiction editor, was named to the Best Fiction of 2011 list by Kirkus Reviews. The original (starred!) review said, “Griffith’s word wizardy, his facile puns, his insight into the human heart and his topsy-turvy sardonic approach make for a one-of-a-kind reading experience.”
Ryan J. Browne, a contributor in Issue 8.2, (due out soon!), won the 16th annual Bright Hill Press poetry book competition. His book, Outside Come In, selected by judge Neil Shepard, will be published in Spring 2012.
Jenn Habel, the University of Cincinnati’s new coordinator of fiction writing, won the Stevens Poetry Manuscript Competition run by the National Federation of State Poetry Societies. Good Reason, her first full-length book of poems, will be published in late spring. She’s also the author of the chapbook In the Little House (Southeast Missouri State Press, 2009).
Congratulations to all three!
