Our final challenge of the year, “A House Divided,” asked for writing that explored home, displacement, and what the shape of shelter looks like today. We’re excited to announce our finalists, whose works reveal the pain of fractured family histories, the nature of erasure, and detachment from danger until it arrives on one’s doorstep. Please join us in congratulating our winners! We are eager to publish their pieces at the end of December.
First place
“Terms of Sale” by M. Colón-Margolies
Second place
“Relocation” by Cate McGowan

“Somebody Should Do Something” by David Brinson
