Today is the book release date for 2024 Richard Snyder Prize Winner Valerie Perreault’s debut collection, Neon Pastoral.
As contest judge Matthew Rohrer put it:
“The imagination in these poems is unrestrained, the voice is wry and the profound questions about life and meaning are sugar coated with hilarious and smart-ass set ups. By the end you’ll realize you’ve taken your medicine without noticing it.”
The book can be found at Itasca, Amazon and elsewhere.
This is the third book we’ve released in my tenure as Ashland Poetry Press Director. I’m super excited about this one. It’s really great.
