Jackie Craven toys with time in WHISH, winner of the 2024 Press 53 Award for Poetry. Surreal prose blocks follow the uneasy relationship between a wistful narrator and shape-shifting characters-managers, bookkeepers, secretaries-who manifest as hours of the day. It's rare to find such perfect prose poetry, says series editor, Tom Lombardo. Jackie Craven's abrupt swerves and disruptive metaphors drop readers off cliffs, repeatedly. Startling, provocative, and darkly comical, WHISH speeds along a quantum highway where memory and loss plume into stained glass light.
