Description

Poetry. DEED by Justin Wymer is the winner of the 2018 Elixir Press Antivenom Poetry Award. DA Powell had this to say about it: "Justin Wymer's poems make a faith of longing, shedding clothes, body, chrysalis to commune deeply with the world. He takes his cues from winged things--angels, locusts, starlings, wasps--and lifts out over rivers, thickets, fields with one eye on terrestrial things and one eye on the open air. 'My soul is a law, on fire, the kiss in the air before dragonflies fold their wings in vague human anguish.' This is a magnificent, moving testament of living." Wymer's work has appeared in such publications as Kenyon Review, Conjunctions, and Boston Review.
