Beth Copeland’s third full-length book Blue Honey received the 2017 Dogfish Head Poetry Prize and was published by The Broadkill River Press. Her second book Transcendental Telemarketer received second place for the Poetry Council of North Carolina’s Oscar Young Arnold Award honoring the best book of poetry published in 2012 by a North Carolina poet. Her first full-length book Traveling through Glass received the Bright Hill Press Poetry Book Award in 1999. Her poems have been widely published in literary journals and have been featured on PBS NewsHour. She lives in a log cabin in rural North Carolina.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ms Copeland's work. I am not normally a fan of poetry based upon family and loss, but the quality of her writing left me wanting more.
