PETER LUDWIN
Peter Ludwin is the recipient of a Literary Fellowship from Artist Trust and the W.D. Snodgrass Award for Endeavor and Excellence in Poetry. His first book, A Guest in All Your Houses, was published in 2009 by Word Walker Press. His second collection is Rumors of Fallible Gods, a two-time finalist for the Gival Press Poetry Award that was published in 2013 by Presa Press. His third book, Gone to Gold Mountain, was published in 2016 by Moon-Path Press and subsequently nominated for a Washington State Book Award. In 2017 the Before Columbus Foundation nominated it for an American Book Award. His most recent manuscript, Where the Silver Bullet Lies, was a three-time finalist for the Wandering Aengus Press Book Award and will be published by Trail to Table Books in October 2024.
A fourteen-year participant in Mexico’s San Miguel Poetry Week, where he studied under such noted poets as Mark Doty, Tony Hoagland, Joseph Stroud and Robert Wrigley, Ludwin won The Comstock Review’s 2016 Muriel Craft Bailey Memorial Award, judged by Marge Piercy. That same year he was the Second-Place winner of the Paulann Petersen Poetry Award, and a finalist in poetry for both the Tucson Festival of Books Literary Awards and the Pangaea Poetry Prize. A multiple Pushcart Prize nominee,
he received nominations in 2016 from MoonPath Press and Connecticut River Review. His work has appeared in many journals, including Atlanta Review, The Bitter Oleander, The Comstock Review, Crab Orchard Review, Nimrod, North American Review and Prairie Schooner, to name a few. A world traveler who has journeyed by canoe to visit remote Indian families in the Amazon Basin of Ecuador, hiked in the Peruvian Andes, thumbed for rides in Greece, bargained for goods in the markets of Marrakech and Istanbul and
survived debilitating illness in China and Tibet, he is also accomplished on acoustic blues guitar and autoharp. He lives in Kent, Washington, where he
is currently writing a memoir/autobiography about growing up during the Cold War and coming of age in the counterculture of the 1960s and ‘70s.
