<span><p><span><b>Margaret Ray is pulling back the curtains on our societal performance of culture, guiding an exposing light to the daily performance that is life in a woman’s body.</b></span></p><p>Selected by Stephanie Burt as the winner of the A. Poulin Jr. Poetry Prize, Ray’s <i><span>Good Grief</span><span>, </span></i><i>the Ground</i> interrogates the everyday violences nonchalantly inflicted unto women through personal, political, and national lenses. Moving between adolescence and adulthood, Ray alternates between dark humor and heart-wrenching honesty to explore grief, anxiety, queer longing, girlhood, escape from an abusive relationship, and the dangers of lending language to a thing.  With stunning wit and precision and attention, we see Ray show us what it is to be human: the mess of tenderness and darkness and animosity. </p><p><span>Out of the heavy Florida dusk, out of peach juice and late-night swimming pool break-in
