[Dr. Taylor Byas, Ph.D. @TaylorByas3]

My gratitude is endless. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[Dr. Taylor Byas, Ph.D. @TaylorByas3]

I'm so grateful to the @Ohioana jury for selecting it and seeing the care I put into every poem and page. Thank you to any and every reader who has spent time with it. Thank you to my team at @softskull for all of your efforts at every step of the way.

[Dr. Taylor Byas, Ph.D. @TaylorByas3]

As an artist, often times the greatest thing that can happen for our work is that it finds its audience, that someone reads or experiences it and feel changed by it. I'm so proud that it has been named the winner of the 2024 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry.
