description: Poetry. "If you're not careful, Alison Stone will devour you," Thom Ward writes of the first winner of the Many Mountains Moving Poetry Book Contest; here the poems "whisper and howl, implore and grieve. Their versions of the mundane and the mythic engage us, offer shape and texture to 'the messy bright life we are born for.' Her poetics serves notice of the metaphysical amid the imminent, how Persephone is always and forever descending and returning, death into life and life into death. Such wisdom is Stone's gift to us." Stone's poems have appeared in Paris Review, Poetry, Ploughshares, and Many Mountains Moving. For more info please visit
