Congratulations to Phd creative writer Seth Abramson. His third poetry collection Thievery won the 2012 Akron Poetry Prize. Dara Wier, this year’s judge, says, "Here is a book that is truly
quietly deeply subtle. It appears to operate along the lines of here is
how one thing follows another; it appears to rely on anticipated cause
and effect to spring us forth from one fraction of a split second's
thought to the next. There are many and then actions in this book. What
follows comes as a surprise sometimes even when it shouldn't. For
instance, at one poem's conclusion it says: An archer shoots. That's
what an archer does. And this is astonishing. And then it is almost
heartbreaking and then one must do a double take and then there is
poetry."
