Tana Jean Welch is the recipient of the 2015 Marsh Hawk Press Prize. Competition Judge Stephanie Strickland writes of Latest Volcano that it is “[a] book of ruthless poise…master[ing] form and forms–pantoum, sestina, terza rima, narrative, elegy–well-suited to its wily protagonist, Eros. A canny figure, unabashed by war or fidelity, in league with cruelty and memory, Eros evolves a wild, patient, don’t-mess-with-me self-knowledge.”
