Contributor Update: Melissa Cundieff-Pexa Darling Nova Poetry Collection

Darling Nova by Melissa Cundieff-pexa poetry collection coverWe are pleased to announce past SR contributor, Melissa Cundieff, will be debuting her poetry collection, Darling Nova, on March 8th of 2018. Darling Nova was the winner of the Autumn House Poetry Prize for 2017 by Autumn House Press. Alberto Rios—judge for 2017—wrote, “The voyage through these poems encompasses much—grief, love, humanness—but the narrative, the speaker, the events keep moving, so that we ourselves are moved.”

Darling Nova is available to pre-order through UPNE Book Partners or Amazon.

Melissa’s two poems “Afterlives” and “Freak” can be read in volume 17 of Superstition Review.

Congratulations, Melissa!
