Contributors' Notes
 
 

This issue opens with fiction by karin a.e. and poetry by Jennifer Tonge, who were the winners of Western Humanities Review's ninth annual Competition for Utah Writers. Once again we thank the Utah Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, whose support allows our continued sponsorship of this competition, as well as the many writers throughout the state who submitted work for consideration during the contest entry period.

We are also deeply indebted to the judges for this year's competition. Our fiction judge, Stuart Dybek, is the recipient of numerous awards including the Lannan Prize, the PEN/Faulkner Prize for "distinguished work in the short story," the Whiting Writers Award, a Guggenheim, and two NEA's.

Our poetry judge was Marie Ponsot, whose fourth book of poems, The Bird Catcher, (Knopf, 1998) won the National Book Critics' Circle Award. Ponsot's other awards include a creative writing grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Delmore Schwartz Memorial Prize, and the Shaughnessy Medal of the Modern Language Association. She teaches in the graduate writing program at Columbia University.
