Crocus by Karin Gottshall
Selected by Alberto Ríos
“These are lyrics that briefly and beautifully change our view of the world. In this effort, they do a quietly wild, beguilingly sudden work of making us rethink the ordinary before we can help ourselves…. The words [in these poems] find their way, and the way is new as we are led into new places: 'my balance/ between the grubby leavings/ of the rummage-sale world// and the clean work of the heart.'”
- Alberto Ríos, Prize Judge
