Animul/Flame was selected as the winner of the first annual Marystina Santiestevan First Book Prize by judge Bob Hicok. Lewis uses language, both strange and familiar, to create an enchanted world full of shadows and poems that read like fables for the future. A raw, explicit, and personal book that conjures the dark, the mysterious, and the mythological.
Animul/Flame won the Midwest Book Award for Debut Poetry collection. Woohoo.
