Why I Never Get Anywhere, or, A List of Mostly Failed Poetry Ideas Scribbled at the back of Ross Gay’s Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude | Kim Farrar
57th NMW Award for Nonfiction
Kim Farrar of Astoria, New York
An honest and joy-soaked accounting, Farrar’s essay is an ode to those magical, maddening moments that make up a life, and the brilliant, unfinished poems tucked away in nearly every writer’s mind.
It Goes Both Ways | Kate Simonian
57th NMW Award for Fiction.
Kate Simonian of San Bernardino for “It Goes Both Ways”

Lines in Algonquin | David Sloan
55th NMW Award for Poetry.
David Sloan of Brunswick, Maine for “Lines in Algonquin”
Sloan’s “Lines in Algonquin” is a transportive meditation on primal paradoxes.
Why does experiencing Nature alone reveal one’s connection to every living thing? How can a moonless sky make us feel inconsequential yet intricately linked to every falling star? For those who could happily spend a lifetime pondering such questions, this poem is for you.
