Announcing the Winner of the 2006 Wabash Prize for Fiction
And the winner is...Jeff P. Jones for his story "The Source of My Troubles."
Prize judge Janet Burroway said of this story, "...a true original, and comes at serious feelings from a wonky angle. The language in both dialogue and narrative is as fresh as the setting is rotten." We too were struck by the vividness of the setting and the playfullness of the language. Thank you for an excellent story, Jeff. We'll be publishing "Source" in the upcoming issue.
In addition to being published in what could possibly be the best issue of a lit mag ever (no snark), Jeff will receive $1000 cash prize. Now don't you wish you had entered? Don't fret, the 2006 Wabash Prize for Poetry will get into gear soon, and there's always the 2007 Fiction Prize to prepare for. Watch this space for details.
Many thanks to the amazing Janet Burroway for agreeing to judge our contest. We hope that all our future judges will be as gracious and as generous as you have been.

Lost in the world just you and I
No trail or anything to guide us by
Traveling don each road with hope in our hands
Hoping that one-day this will come to a end
Both have doubts in our hearts
That we should spread apart
Knowing that will tare us apart
We try to keep our love strong each day that passes us by
But pain and misery holds us back to the point where we hide and no longer survive
Our love is confusing and frustrating enough
But we can’t live without each other’s touch
So we keep our heads high and hold on to the love we have in side.
