Applications call for Stacy Doris Memorial Poetry Award.

Stacy Doris was a poet, translator, and an Associate Professor in San Francisco State Universitys Department of Creative Writing, where she taught for ten years. Her poetry is widely recognized; Fledge: A Phenomenology of Spirit, published shortly after her death, is available from Nightboat Books. Poet Maxine Chernoff has referred to it as a miracle of attentiveness. She was also highly regarded for her writing in French and her contribution to interactions among contemporary French and American poetry and poets.

Doris created new worlds with her unexpected poetics. Following upon her spirit of creative invention, engaging wit and ingenious playfulness, discovery in construction, and radical appropriations based on classical forms, pastiche, etc., and love, the Stacy Doris Memorial Poetry Award is given to a poet with a truly inventive spirit.

Prize

The winning poet of the award will receive $500 and publication in the 2021 issue of Fourteen Hills. There is no submission fee and poems not chosen for the award will be considered for publication in Fourteen Hills.
