”It’s amazing when an anthology of different voices still manages to feel like a cohesive, breathing whole. These poems, together, are a choir, a song of hope and longing you will feel vibrating deep in your bones long after reading. “tell me everything you know / of tenderness” this book asks of its reader, and I am here, with my chest unlocked, ready to speak of it.” ó Grant Chemidlin, author of What We Lost in the Swamp This collection reads like a secret, some whispered truth offered in hushed tone on the edges of a crowded room. It sticks with you that way, too. These poems, these raw and varied, diverse and vulnerable bits of ache, of joy, of sorrow, and mostly of beauty, burrow into your mind and keep the whisper going long after youíve put it down. So much talent, Iíve never envied the judge of this contest less." ó Tyler Knott Gregson, author of Chasers of the LightPraise for the 2024 Edition “The Central Avenue Poetry Prize is an astounding collection of poems. As you read each page and meet new poets from different countries and life experiences, you’ll be reminded of the joy and pain that make us all human: the love we crave, the loss we endure, and the lives we live." ó Shelby Leigh, author of Girl Made of Glass and From Sand to Stars This book is filled with poems thatíll change your life and if not your life, then perhaps at the very least, your morning or your coffee break because thatís what poetry does, which is something other kinds of writing canít." ó Iain S. Thomas, author of I Wrote This For You and The Truth of You “This felt like a homecoming to the interconnectedness of the human experience. With so many different poets, so many different lived lives, it’s a reminder that there is both immense beauty and pain in being human, and yet, we are never alone in it either." ó Makenzie Campbell, author of 2am Thoughts and Self Portrait ìThe Central Avenue Poetry Prize makes its debut with an incredible array of diverse and talented poetic voices. This anthology is a stunning showcase of the contemporary poetry scene.î ó Catarine Hancock, author of shades of lovers
