PRESENT TENSE COMPLEX by Suphil Lee Park won the third annual Marystina Santiestevan First Book Prize awarded by Conduit Books & Ephemera. Bob Hicok, the final judge, offered: Suphil Lee Park’s poems investigate, tear at, and adore physical and emotional dislocations, separations, and losses. She has a way of combining tones that should never fit together –lush austerity, calm fury –even peaceful unrest. I’d even say that she seems at ease…with unease, in large part because she recognizes her own nature and is not afraid to give her poems over to it.
