The Sonora Review wall of...stuff, by Emilio Carrerro.
We are pleased to announce the winners of our Fall 2018 contest!⁣⁣⁣ --- ⁣⁣⁣ Nonfiction Contest WINNER: “Magic, True or False,” by Kate Harding⁣⁣⁣ HONORABLE MENTION: “S,” by David Stevens⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Beard on "Magic, True or False": It’s a gorgeously sustained meditation on memory, spirituality, family, religion, loss and (somehow, miraculously) gain. The gain part is about knowledge, of the self, of other, and of the world. This writer is ambitious, taking on topics that others avoid, in life and in writing, and then fluidly providing us with not answers but beautiful explications of an unending question.⁣⁣⁣ --- ⁣⁣⁣ Flash Prose Contest WINNER: “Flight Path” by Amy Butcher⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Walker on “Flight Path”: I chose Flight Path as the winner of the Sonora Review Flash Prose prize because of its thick layering. Referencing cultural touchstones as diverse W.H. Auden and Jeopardy, this piece stacks everything we thought we knew about Icarus and Daedalus and then piles more on. The images of the would-be immigrants tucked into the wheelhouses of airplanes makes those thick stories immediate. Too immediate and hard to hear, but necessary. The final stark image of not wax but metal becomes a hot, stark mirror.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Flash Prose RUNNER UP: “When People Back Home Ask Me What Winters in Marquette Are Like” by Krys Belc⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Walker on “When People Back Home”: I chose When People Back Home Ask Me What Winters in Marquette Are Like for the way it encounters, with humor and a strict matter of fact voice, the transphobia and homophobia as well narrator’s sense of self. The humor is dark but transporting. Out of fairness, no one, especially not the narrator, gets cut any slack because the narrator illustrates beautifully the equal fragility of everyone’s heart.⁣⁣⁣ --- ⁣⁣⁣ Congratulations to all, and thanks to everyone for participating!
