Congratulations to Aaron Coleman whose poem  "Very Many Hands" won him The Cincinnati Review's Robert and Adele Schiff Award.  The journal's poetry editor Don Bogen describes being "struck by the fine combination of unity and variety among the paragraphs-we're always in one poem, but it stays fresh over the long haul, with room to shift and surprise."  Read the rest of the editor's comments as well as Aaron Coleman's explanation of the poem here.

Aaron is also the author of the recently released chapbook St. Trigger.

As part of its 25th anniversary celebration, the Chancellor's Graduate Fellowship Program in conjunction with the Office of the Provost has created the Chancellor's Graduate Fellows Alumni Initiative.  The aim of the program is to bring these remarkable scholars back to Washington University to share their current work with our academic departments and schools and also to provide professional development advice to current Chancellor's Fellows.
