Books :: 2016 Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry
Rita Mae Reese’s The Book of Hulga, winner of the University of Wisconsin Press Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry, is to be published later this month. Selected by Denise Duhamel, Reese’s second poetry collection includes 9 black and white illustrations by Julie Franki and “speculates—with humor, tenderness, and a brutal precision—on a character that Flannery O’Connor envisioned but did not live long enough to write.”
To hear Reese reading a selection from The Book of Hulga, or to order a copy, visit the University of Wisconsin Press website.
