Alumna earns poetry honor

Prof. Rebecca Meacham shares word that UW-Green Bay alumna Lisa Coutley has won her first chapbook contest. Coutley, a former poetry editor of Sheepshead Review, entered the manuscript “Back-Talk” in a competition organized by Rooms Outlast Us, a Washington, D.C.-based print journal dedicated solely to “recalibrating poetry for the modern era.” Coutley’s work will be included in an upcoming chapbook (a limited-run anthology) published by Articles Press. Coutley is in the process of completing her master’s of fine arts at Northern Michigan University. The “Rooms” website is http://roomsoutlastus.wordpress.com/
