Orioling

By Ann Sisbee and Ann Silsbee

"Some months after the judging panel chose Ann Silsbee's Orioling as the winner of the Ben Saltman Award from Red Hen Press, I reread the manuscript only to find myself totally bowled over by the poems. Silsbee brings so much to the table in her poetry, it's hard to know where to begin to praise such work. I had loved this collection from my first reading of it, but subsequent readings have put me in awe of the wonderful spirit behind the poems and the exquisite language of which they are made. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say "The Ten Thousand Things," but that's just because it's a perfect movie of the creative process. There's no doubt in my mind but that this book is going to open some eyes and put a star on the map wherever Ann Silsbee spends her time."
