“We are pleased to announce the winner of our second annual chapbook, Cole W. Williams. Cole’s ekphrastic, hybrid work, (based on the 1975 documentary, Pumping Iron) explores the definition of body and the relationship between observation and habitation, between gaze and practice: how we choose to shape and stretch this vessel in which we reside and what we say consciously, culturally, and subconsciously about that shaping. Look for her work, Olympia, early next year.” ~the Under Review
