Our contest judge is Brian Blanchfield. He is the author of three books of prose and poetry, including Proxies: Essays Near Knowing, a book of nonfiction that is part cultural close reading, part autobiographical reckoning. The recipient of book awards and artist grants from The Whiting Foundation, the Academy of American Poets, and the Howard Foundation, his poems and essays have appeared recently in The Oxford American, Harper’s, BOMB, Brick, and the Wesleyan anthology American Poets in the 21st Century. He teaches creative writing at the University of Idaho and the Bennington Writing Seminars, and lives with his partner, the poet John Myers, in Moscow, Idaho.
