Summer Poetry Award 3rd Place: Singularity by Aurora Masum-Javed
Aurora Masum-Javed’s “singularity” has been selected as third place in the Summer Poetry Award because the work meditates profoundly on the vulnerability of being a daughter, of being someone else’s dream, of being a body, frail and falling through time. Masum-Javed’s work is one to keep an eye on! Read the winner and the runner-up of the Summer Poetry Award as well.
