The Poet’s Billow is happy to announce that our judge Sara Lupita Olivares has chosen Peter Filkins as the winner of the 2019 Pangaea Prize. The winning poems along with a selection of the finalists can be read on the 2019 Pangaea Prize announcement page.

Currently she lives in northern New Mexico where she is an assistant professor at New Mexico Highlands University. https://www.saralupitaolivares.com

About our Winner:

Peter Filkins is the author of five collections of poetry, the most recent of which, Water / Music, will be published by Johns Hopkins UP in April 2021. His previous volume, The View We’re Granted, received the Sheila Margaret Motton Best Book Award from the New England Poetry Club, and his poems, essays, translations, and reviews have appeared in The Paris Review, The Yale Review, The Sewanee Review, Poetry, The American Scholar, The N.Y.
