Winner of the Hayden Carruth Award _Radio Crackling, Radio Gone_ is a debut collection of poetry that explores multiple logics of perception, association, and interpretation. Navigating the edges where things begin to disappear, the poems inhabit border zones of transformation where memory slides into imagination, wakefulness meets sleep, and things possessed become lost.  _What seemed a mystery was__ __in fact a choice. Insert bird for sorrow.__ __What seemed a memory was in fact__ __a dividing line. Insert bird for wind.__ __Insert wind for departure when__ __everyone is standing still. . ._ _Radio Crackling, Radio Gone_ was selected from the 1,200 submissions to the Hayden Carruth Award. By the time the anonymous manuscript was chosen as winner, the cover sheet was filled with readers' commentary: "stunning" and "lovely" and a bold "YES!"
