True To Life: cuttings, mechanics, & modifications by HL Hazuka

Winner of the 2014 Chapbook Fellowship


Selected and introduced by Forrest Gander

The wonderful poems of True to Life aren’t nostalgic paeans to cinematography or ekphrastic illuminations, or even records of the experience of watching films. As they call our attention to “how every realism / is a representation,” they become linguistic delivery systems for insights into how now is born.


—Forrest Gander


Edition: 500 Copies of the winning books were printed by the Prolific Group and designed by Gabriele Wilson.
