Second-Year Poet is a finalist in Palette Poetry Contest

MFA student Sabrina Spence had her poem selected as a finalist in Palette Poetry’s 2023 Resistance & Resilience Prize. For this contest, the journal sought out poems that reflect upon, live within, wrestle with, uplift, or subvert themes of resistance and resilience. We are looking for poetry of pushback and of survival, poetry that troubles power and poetry that nurtures its readers and writers alike.

Sabrina says that the poem, which came out of a workshop with Emily Skaja, is a “testament to my MFA program and teh lovely people who read my work at the UOFM.”
