Off The Grid Press is pleased to announce that the winner of our 2012 manuscript contest is Elaine Terranova’s Dollhouse.
This new poetry collection by Whitman Award winner Terranova is her sixth, and it is breathtaking. In pellucid language the poet walks through a kind of “vale of soul making” by re-visioning hours she spent as a child playing dolls with a friend. Terranova weaves her poetics of space by setting the fragile orders of the dollhouse against the realities of family fiction and the terror of a whole world outside where no shelter can be found – all this in exquisite, minimalist music.
