Tyler Mills (PhD’15) honored with 2019 Snowbound Chapbook Award
Tyler Mills, Assistant Professor at New Mexico Highlands University and Editor-in-Chief of The Account as well as an alumna of the PhD Program for Writers at UIC, has won the 2019 Tupelo Press Snowbound Chapbook Award for her manuscript The City Scattered. The prize is publication by Tupelo Press, national distribution, and $1000 cash.
Cole Swenson's judge's citation remarks that The City Scattered "offers a range of spliced voices that construct a multi-perspectival musing on 'the new woman' as she emerged in the labor and consumer culture of Germany between the wars...Mills keeps her language sharp and flat, vivid and yet frank, augmenting the sense of documentary accuracy that the series’ source text, an ethnographic study of labor in Germany in 1930, lends to the work."
Congratulations to Tyler Mills!
