My YA short story in verse, "Him," which won the HUNGER MOUNTAIN Katherine Paterson Prize, is now up on the Vermont College of Fine Arts HUNGER MOUNTAIN site. I'm proud of what the judge had to say about my very edgy (yes, that's a warning), contemporary piece.
“From the start, Him took me to a different world. The writer is one of those rare talents who can create a realistic setting and characters with few words. Aside from those attributes, I felt an instant compassion for the flawed main character, despite her bad choices. That is no easy task. Bravo!” —Kimberly Willis Holt, 2011 judge
