Rubicon Press’s Second Annual Midwinter Chapbook Competition

Many thanks to all entrants in our second annual Midwinter Chapbook Competition!

It has been a definite challenge to select a winning entry from the huge number of submissions we received this year. Twice as many poets as last year, both new and established, entered the competition, and the manuscripts have provided us with two months’ worth of very enjoyable reading (and re-reading)!

We’re happy to announce that Marcus McCann is this year’s winner. His edgy, high-energy collection The tech/tonic suite wowed us with its liquid command of language. Marcus’ chapbook will head up Rubicon Press’s Fall 2008 lineup and will be released this coming September. All competition entrants will receive a copy.

Congratulations, Marcus, and thanks again to all who entered!

A brand new look!

What better way to welcome in Spring ’08 than with a brand new look? Our new logo will be appearing on all of our upcoming chapbooks and broadsides.
