    • Jury citation: “Sanna Wani’s My Grief, the Sun is an impressive collection. With a theological playfulness, the poems travel around the world, through pop culture and prayers and the emotional landscapes of grief and loss. The writing is startling, surprising, breath-taking. It takes poetic risks that pay off in strange and wonderful ways, expanding the entire genre in its wake. Wani has revealed herself as a formidable talent with this collection.”
