Congratulations to Meg Kearney on winning the 2020 Washington Prize for her collection All Morning the Crows! Kearney will read for the WCPA on November 8th in our Zoom into Poetry with Meg Kearney event.

A five-judge panel chose Kearney as the winner from a pool of eleven finalists. The annual prize includes a publication contract along with a monetary award.

Kearney is the author of two collections for adults, An Unkindness of Ravens and Home By Now, winner of the 2010 PEN New England L.L. Winship Award, as well as a heroic Crown published as a chapbook titled The Ice Storm, and a trilogy of novels in verse for teens.
