Sara Parrell was awarded first prize in the 2008 Poetry Center of Chicago’s Juried Reading for five poems from her manuscript Psalms of New Orleans, which was also a finalist in the 2010 Concrete Wolf chapbook contest. Her work has appeared in Crab Orchard Review, qarrtsiluni, Wisconsin People and Ideas (including winning poems in the 2007 poetry contest), the anthology Lake Wingra Morning, and other journals.
