John Poch wins Justice Prize

Two Men Fighting with a Knife, John Poch's second collection of poetry, is the 2008 Donald Justice Poetry Prize winner. David Mason, Donald Justice Poetry Prize judge, said of Poch’s manuscript: “In spite of its rueful undercurrent of mortality, Two Men Fighting with a Knife is one of the wittiest books I have read in years, full of an active thrust and parry.

John Poch mines these poems from a rich vein of American vernacular. He's a
raconteur of Texas and 'the old west ins and outs,' offering a range of moods from anger to hilarity and grief, hewing close to actual lives, surprising us with crackerjack phrasing and vital talk."

Wendy White

Wendy's exhibition was recently reviewed and her work remains on view at Leo Koenig through Aug 1 - Much success to her!
