Poetry Contest Winner

Congratulations to Seth Landman, winner of two fantastic Subito books for our mini poetry contest. Read the winning poem below.

A Note on the Text


I have used you
where other words are not
where I am
alone a little
walk a little strong wind
clear eyes full of stars
coming off the crystal the lake
seems to be tonight.
I will write later to light
matches. As much as we are that
we are sentinel listening
over the five or six miles
of threshold between
one town and the next.
This town I found
the cause of it
the river. I have used one thing
where I have had many and the winter
has been difficult and the winter
has not even started yet.
Burn purpose or burn
some big habit you can’t
go back to beforehand.
It will be hard to read
the reminders you set
in the dark preceding
the light in the morning.
By you I mean so it is not
strange but since and promised
and whole in sickness and in
any condition resisted
the big mind shining I know also that.
