The Light of What Comes After

By Jen Town

This collection, The Light of What Comes After, was selected by judge Jennifer Militello as the winner of the 2017 May Sarton New Hampshire Poetry Prize.

Judge Militello writes, Jen Town's The Light of What Comes After offers a sure manifesto against the domestic and cosmetic. Town's poems are wry and aware. Town's rich linguistic moments and surprising imagery lend her voice a slant which can seem playful and unafraid, but warning is always stitched just below the surface. This is a writer who knows Your debts / are more than you'll ever pay back.'
