| Lithic Press Chapbook Prize | <p><strong>Devon, Miller-Duggan</strong>, assistant professor has been awarded the Lithic Press Chapbook Prize for "<em>The Slow Salute"</em><em>, a wonderful collection of poems. </em>Like Herodotus narratives,
the Slow Salute evokes images of foreign battlefields and the one heartache
that howls through the ages. The entirety is a manual of ritual behavior, the
remains of a fallen warrior returned to loved ones: the container, the hand
off, the boot strap, the gun salute. The intense description transcends time,
its straightforward verse becomes a hum, a song, a plea, and the weight of
someone lost is felt and difficult.</p> | Miller-Duggan, Devon | dmd | | |
