The winner of the 2020 William D. Barney Memorial Chapbook Contest sponsored by the Fort Worth Poetry Society in cooperation with the Poetry Society of Texas. Here's what the judge and her readers are saying about Catherine L'Herisson's prize-winning work: I loved (this) chapbook . . . There were some really good chapbooks submitted, but I kept coming back to (this one.) It was clearly the best. I'd love to get a printed copy when it is published.David Allen, Poetry Society of Indiana, retired journalist, Judge, 2020 William D. Barney Chapbook ContestThese strong beautiful poems deal with the fragility of life. These poems are a personal journey on many levels using the imagery of the sea. Most of the poems are warm, bright images, held for remembrance in times of storm clouds and cold winds.Pat StodghillFormer Poet Laureate of Texas, Nortex Press Award and William E. Bard Award winner, former president of the Poetry Society of Texas and National Federation of State Poetry Societies, Inc.Catherine L'Herisson invites us into mesmerizing worlds of water and sunlight. Using shoreline scenes as backdrop, readers are enticed to join her inner journeys as L'Herisson offers the sounds, the smells, and the coastal wildlife as a healing balm for our own longings . . .Anne McCradyPoet, Speaker, Peace Advoate-InSpiritryEdwin M. Eakin Memorial Award WinnerLike its author, The Limping Mermaid is honest and reverential. The sea inundates, buffets, exhilarates, or stirs the angst of the reader. Drenched in her tides, we limp from L'Herisson's pages knowing the mermaid and a bit more of ourselves.Budd Powell MahanEdward Eakin Mermorial Award Winner, Stevens Manuscript Award Winner, former president of the Poetry Society of Texas and National Federation of State Poetry
