Listen to John Foy, 2020 Winner of the Donald Justice Poetry Prize

Autumn House Press is honored to publish the winner of the Donald Justice Poetry Prize, with our partners at West Chester University Poetry Center. This year’s winner was John Foy, and his manuscript, It Is What It Is  was selected by J. Allyn Rosser. Usually, each year we convene and celebrate the previous year’s winner and the current winner at the West Chester Poetry Conference. Due to COVID-19, this event was cancelled. In lieu of the conference, John Foy celebrated with this reading. Autumn House looks forward to publishing John’s work in March 2021.
