Kola Superdeep Borehole by Joe Fletcher has won the 2018 BOOM Chapbook contest.

We had a whole bunch of amazing manuscripts to read this time round and Joe’s was the one that kept rising to the top.  Look for the handsewn, letterpress chapbooks at AWP 2019 and beyond.  Congratulations, Joe!  And thank you to everyone for supporting Bateau this year & over the last 15 years!
