We are pleased to announce that Jeannine Hall Gailey has been awarded third place for the 2024 Elgin Award’s Best Full-Length Book for her collection Flare, Corona.
“I am honored that Flare, Corona received third prize for the 2024 Elgin Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association,” said Gailey. “The SFPA has been so supportive of my writing over the years and I greatly appreciate that.”
Against a constellation of solar weather events and an evolving pandemic, Flare, Corona paints a self-portrait of the ways that we prevail and persevere through health adversities while facing an uncertain future. Gailey’s poems are incandescent and tender-hearted, gracefully insistent on teaching us how we can live in a beautiful and perilous world, the ways in which we can brilliantly and stubbornly survive.
Jeannine Hall Gailey served as the second Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington. She is the author of five other books of poetry: Becoming the Villainess, She Returns to the Floating World, Unexplained Fevers, The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, and Field Guide to the End of the World, winner of the Moon City Press Book Prize and the Elgin Award. Her work has been featured on The Writer’s Almanac, Verse Daily, The Best Horror of the Year, and more.
