In reply to My Inner Chick. Thank you so much! Experience goes into all our writing and it's so satisfying to see it come through. This Prize brings out some of the best writers I've ever read and I'm proud to be among them.

***I woke up at five and the sun was missing from the morning. Something else wasn’t there, an escape of breath like an early spring breeze. A twitching of toes like a caught bird at the foot of the bed***

Powerful. Heartbreaking. Beautiful.

Congratulations on your Glass Woman Prize. You deserved it.

The language rises and falls beautifully in this piece. The sense of shadow prevails throughout no matter how much light you bring to the page. Congratulations for winning the Glass Woman Prize!

Oh, these questions pull at me so! And how we are set up for this with the exquisite description of interiors: of a home and of a psychological interior and the effort to control certain realizations that are dawning with great force.
