Congratulations!
Purple Passion Press is pleased to announce recognition awarded to In The Willing Dirt, a chapbook of poetry by Jade Bradbury.
San Francisco Book Festival
In the Willing Dirt is recognized as a 2021 San Francisco Book Festival Honorable Mention in the Poetry Category. The San Francisco Book Festival celebrates the best books of the year. The prize is awarded in 19 categories.
The Whirling Prize
In the Willing Dirt is recognized as a 2021 Whirling Prize Finalist.
The Whirling Prize is organized by Etchings Press, a student-run publisher at University of Indianapolis. The prize is awarded each fall to two books that demonstrate an excellent and compelling response to a theme that students at the university select. In 2021 the theme was Nature.
The poems gathered in this chapbook were written over a recent six-year period during which the poet consulted with the “home” elements of earth, wind, fire, and water, calling on them to guide her poetic rendering of what genuinely matters, no matter what. What emerges from what she calls the willing dirt is a living testimony on behalf of a life lived passionately in love with the natural world while attempting to make peace with a material world much in need of it.
Congratulations to Jade Bradbury. In the Willing Dirt is available in paperback at Amazon at Barnes and Noble, and other booksellers. The chapbook can also be ordered from booksellers using the ISBN number.
ISBN: 9 781733 126007
