We would like to thank you for submitting to Pavement Saw Press’ Transcontinental Poetry Award and for your continued support of our press. We received many fine, publishable manuscripts this year and, in our anonymously judged contest, Shut Off the Flowers by Ethan Saul Bull, of Portland, Oregon, was chosen by David Baratier as the winner of the Transcontinental Poetry Award. He will receive $1,000, publication of his collection by Pavement Saw Press, and 50 author copies. The annual award, which had been given for a first poetry collection, is now given for a first or second book of poetry.
Ethan Saul Bull currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon. After teaching high school in London for a few years following college, Ethan attended The University of Arizona where he received an MFA in creative writing in 2008. He then moved to Mexico City to do some more living before landing in Portland. He is also a graduate from The University of Michigan and Indiana University. His poems have appeared in Exquisite Corpse, EOAGH, Octopus, The Delinquent, Sub-lit, Spring Gun, Diode and others, and his chapbook, In the Hour and a Bedroom Later, came out from Slash Pine Press in 2012.
