糖心动漫vlog Department of English Prize for Short Fiction

Winner: MJ Soria for 淟ifestyle Tips�

Honorable Mention: Asia B. Rogers for 淛ust Once"

Judge: Jac Jemc

About Soira檚 work, Jemc writes: 淪oria's story employs a voice that is unmistakably assured. There is humor and irony in the way the character of Nessa moves through the absurd spaces of contemporary life. Soria creates an atmosphere that is at once sinister and flippant, causing the reader to wonder if Nessa is capable of identifying the real threats surrounding her or if an unidentified risk lurks just outside of her awareness. A nihilism lines the story, asking, what does it matter?�

糖心动漫vlog Department of English Prize for Short Fiction judge Jac Jemc is the author of three novels and two collections of short fiction. Her most recent novel is Empty Theater. Her work has received many honors, including a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation. Jemc teaches creative writing at UC San Diego.

Peter J. Theune Memorial Essay Prize

Winner: Brook Pacchetti for 淣ew Year, Same Place� and 淧aternity Scandal at the Funeral�
 
Honorable Mention: Van Le for 淎 Communistic McDonald檚 Advertisement�
 
Judge: Rachel Jamison Webster

About Pacchetti檚 essays, Webster writes, 淚 chose these essays for their shapeliness. Both are written about knotty and complex family situations, but the author has a sense of how to hone them to keep the reader檚 attention and to focus, ultimately, on psychological awareness. Pacchetti varies her sentence length and achieves a pleasing and clarified prose rhythm. This approachable style contrasts nicely with the essays� emotional complexity. The essays illuminate hard-won truths about life and family, about what we owe to others and to ourselves.�
 
Peter J. Theune Memorial Essay Prize judge Rachel Jamison Webster is the author of five books, most recently Benjamin Banneker and Us: Eleven Generations of an American Family, hailed as a Best Book of 2023 by The New Yorker. She teaches at Northwestern University.

Arthur W. Hinners & Louise Hinners Sipfle Poetry Prize presented by the Academy of American Poets

Winner: Farah Bassyouni
 
Judge: Diego B谩ez
 
Of Bassyouni檚 poems, B谩ez writes, 淚n lyrics that are intimately tender and burning with insight, Farah Bassyouni's poems navigate the spaces between mothers and daughters, between English and Arabic, between chance encounters with the divine at O'Hare Airport and afterthoughts of international students on a Greyhound bus (榠 wonder what they檇 think about Palestine�). Whether whispering words for 榤ercy� and 榣ove� in Arabic, or conjuring the alimentary comforts of home (olive branches, tea with milk, lemon, and honey), Bassyouni asserts a lyrical legacy all her own, at once brightly hopeful and defiantly sincere: 榠 am the land you couldn't burn / the souls you couldn't steal / i am the love you couldn't take away.櫇

Arthur W. Hinners & Louise Hinners Sipfle Poetry Prize judge Diego B谩ez is the author of the poetry collection Yaguarete White. His work has received many honors, including fellowships from CantoMundo and the Poetry Foundation檚 Incubator for Community-Engaged Poets. He teaches at the City Colleges of Chicago.
