I WILL NOT KICK MY FRIENDS by Kathleen Winter is one of the winners of the 17th Annual Elixir Press Poetry Awards. Contest judge, Jane Satterfield, had this to say about I WILL NOT KICK MY FRIENDS: \"Sparkling, satirical, and highly referential, Winter's poems offer deep rewards. They consistently resist scholarly insularity, and the overall effect is a refreshingly choral, intoxicating verse.\" Bob Hicok said this: \"Kathleen Winter is unusually attuned to the intersection of the imagined and the common place. She weaves her loves — personal, artistic, intellectual — into her daily life, making this a book of passionate intimacies. Kathleen's attitude — her appetite — is made clear by her vision of Eve in the poem, 'Noir' — 'He offered me the apple — \/ what could I do?' This is a wonderful book.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31337276407831,"sku":"9781932418651","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/content_58f224bd-5300-4740-95a1-3b7e3e0a3f0f.jpg?v=1586746033","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/i-will-not-kick-my-friends-by-kathleen-winter","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
