Maggie Ray’s chapbook, Superstitions of the Mid-Atlantic, will be published by Poetry Society of America.
Poetry Society Lauds Ray English teacher Maggie Ray is one of four winners of the Poetry Society of America’s (PSA) annual Chapbook Fellowship competition. (A chapbook is a collection of poetry typically fewer than forty pages and often centered on a specific subject.) Ray’s chapbook, Superstitions of the Mid-Atlantic, will be published by the PSA.
“This is one of the major national chapbook competitions and an enormous – and well-earned – honor,” said Chris Cunningham P’14 ’18,
assistant head of school and dean of faculty. PSA’s mission is to build a larger and more diverse audience for poetry, to encourage a deeper appreciation of the vitality and breadth of poetry in the cultural conversation, to support poets through an array of programs and awards, and to place poetry at the crossroads of American life.
