Hello there!
          	
          	I wanted to share some wonderful news with all of the poets and writers following me on Wattpad.  I just learned this week that poet Nance Van Winckel has chosen my poetry manuscript After Our Departure as the winner of the Powder Horn Prize from Sage Hill Press!  The book will be published in winter of 2016.  Some of the poems in the manuscript were first published as part of Skrimshander, my entry for the Atty Awards (still available to read on Wattpad).  
          	
          	Here is a link to the Sage Hill Press website:
          	
          	http://sagehillpoetry.com/
          	
          	Also, I will post the announcement from the press Facebook page below.  I get so much inspiration from reading new work on Wattpad.  I don't know if I would have finished the book without the encouragement from other Wattpad writers and readers.
          	
          	I hope everyone is having a wonderful week, full of reading and working on new projects,

          	"Congratulations to Benjamin Cartwright!
          	
          	Nance Van Winckel has selected his manuscript "After Our Departure" as the winner of the Powder Horn Prize. Sage Hill will publish the book at the end of the year.
          	
          	In selecting the book, Nance said, "Cartwright's poems work off a logic all their own, but a logic that feels intimate and/or surprising—surprising in the Frostian sense of sudden insight we feel the writer felt too."
          	
          	We'd like to extend a special thanks to Nance, and to our other finalists, Jeff Encke, Andrew McSorley, and Kate Peterson."
