Julia Hungry

Hannah Louise Poston

Overview

Winner of the 18th annual Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize, JULIA HUNGRY is a collection that engages with poetic form and the legacy of the male-dominated 20th-century verse canon. The poems navigate a complex relationship with poetic forebears, blending elements of affection and intellectual sparring. Traditional forms are present, infused with a distinctly feminine perspective, creating a tension that extends from domestic settings to a global scale. This work contemplates reclamation and survival, deeply influenced by the echoes of past poetic voices.
