Kurt Olsson’s manuscript Burning Down Disneyland was selected for the 2016 Barry Spacks Poetry Prize by Thomas Lux. He lives and works just outside of Washington, D.C. In awarding the prize, Thomas Lux wrote, “I love the title of this book…and I love the innovative mischief of its poems. Let it be known: a true poetic intelligence and imagination live between its covers.”
Kate Morgan, an undergraduate English student at UCLA, had studied at SBCC and has had poems in The Aperion Review and Red Cedar Review.
