Abigail Zimmer’s child in a winter house brightening won the Chicago Review of Books Award for best poetry collection by a Chicago author in 2016. Thanks to Abi’s mesmerizing work, my press Tree Light Books now has a book award to add to our accolades, and I can finally say I’ve wandered through canyons with and drunkenly cried on the shoulder of an award-winning poet.

You can read Tree Light Books’ round-up of Abi’s panel discussion from last night’s award ceremony, along with a few thoughts on the win and publishing Abi’s chapbook at the Tree Light blog.

If you see Abi, buy the poetry queen a beer. If you see me, try to bring me back down to planet Earth. Or better yet, don’t.
