National Poet Hunt

The most recent issue of The MacGuffin features the winner of the 17th National Poet Hunt: Sharron Singleton for “Like a scrap of Michigan sky.” Judge Dorianne Laux says that she was hooked after the first line, saying “already a place, already an image, a tone.” She says that, “This is a poem to hold in our hands, to sing out loud.”

The honorable mentions go to Sophia Rivkin for “Lido Island” and Kevin Griffin for “Melt,” also featured in this issue alongside Rik Barberi, Carrie Callaghan, Jorge Casuso, Barbara Crooker, Justin Daughtery, Marti Dodge, Taylor Dowd, Kathleen Founds, Deborah Kent, Kent Maynard, Billy Middleton, Rex Richards, and many more.
