CHAD WALSH POETRY PRIZE
John Hodgen is the winner of the sixteenth annual Chad Walsh Poetry Prize for his four poems in the Summer 2008 issue.

Once in a while, I'll pick up a lit mag and read a great poem by someone I've never heard of. A poem that knocks me down and steals my shoes and makes me walk back to my own poor town over rocks and thorns. A poem that knocks the oomph out of my status quo. A poem I want to read to everybody. One that works and risks while it works. The Beloit Poetry Journal offers such poems.
