Books :: 2016 Perugia Press Prize

Lisa Allen Oritz took home the Perugia Press Prize for a first or second book by a woman (now open for 2017 submissions) in 2016 with the poetry collection Guide to the Exhibit. 

“Inspired by the displays at a small natural history museum” Guide to the Exhibit is “about what we set aside to examine and remember,” using a quirky, scientific lens.

At the Perugia Press website, readers can find an excerpt from the collection, which will be released and September, as well as preorder copies.
