The Pushcart Prize<\/a> series honors the best literary work published each year by small presses around the country. Caitlin is in impressive company as the recipient of a 2019 Special Mention, along with Carolyn Forche, David Wojahn, Ilya Kaminski, Bob Hicock, and Patricia Smith, among other notable poets!<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Poetry Sunday<\/em>\u00a0last March, poet and critic Rebecca Foust highlighted\u00a0Doyle’s “The Dress Code,” which is a villanelle, as an example of how “form can set you free in your writing and reading of poetry.” According to Foust, the poem’s “repetitions build an echo chamber resulting in sonic saturation that creates anxiety and urgency,” a series of artful aural effects that “keep tension taut in the poem.”<\/p>\n
