GUEST REVIEW BY DANIEL OLIVAS
The Elegant Variation
Founded in 1996 by Beth Spencer, Bear Star Press has committed itself to publishing the best poetry it can attract from the Mountain and Pacific time zones, as well as Alaska and Hawaii. Each year, to assist it in its mission, the press awards the Dorothy Brunsman Poetry Prize ($1,000 and publication) to a writer from the region. This year, the winner is Manuel Paul López from the border town of El Centro, California, for his debut collection, “Death of a Mexican and Other Poemsâ€. And no wonder: López surprises and moves the reader with poems that are filled with great humor and playful imagery. All the while, he displays a deep understanding of our never-ending quest for self-invention.
