CONGRATULATIONS !
LITT major Brege Shinn has won the Mimi Schwartz Creative Nonfiction Award for her dazzling essay about traveling in Spain, The Great Masturbator.
The contest judge, Andy Douglas (MFA, Iowa), is a writer, editor, and activist living in Iowa City, Iowa. His essays and translations have appeared in Mary, New Renaissance, Nimrod, Bayou, Pisgah Review, and a number of newspapers. Currently, Douglas is at work on a memoir about his experience living for four years as a yogic monk.
Douglas writes: Each of these entries had much to recommend it. It wasnt an easy decision, but The Great Masturbator, an essay portraying relationship with place [Spain] as a kind of tortured love affair, leapt out at me with its interesting approach. The authors witty, knowing voice, beautiful descriptive language, and an unusual style pulled me in from the beginning. Her dilemma of being so blinded by desire in a new relationship that she pays no attention to the warning signs was evocative and relatable. She also captured the complexity and confusion of living abroad - treating some difficult material maturely " while getting across her underlying passion for and delight in the traveling life.
Brege Shinn previously won the Jennifer Cakert Award in creative nonfiction for Thank the Good Lord for Duct Tape, a funny, insightful narrative of a mishap at a backpackers hostel in Prague. She tutors in the Writing Center.
Brielle Graham, an Applied Physics major, was named runner-up for Coming Home, in Seven Acts, and Hanna Lomonaco, a Literature major, received honorable mention for NJ 08242.
The Mimi Schwartz Creative Nonfiction Award is funded through the Writing Program and is presented semiannually to a Stockton student.
