She was selected by judges Catherine Barnett, Eduardo C. Corral, and D. A. Powell.

The judges also selected Dong Li’s The Orange Tree (University of Chicago Press, 2023) and Paisley Rekdal’s West: A Translation (Copper Canyon Press, 2023) as finalists for the prize.

The Four Quartets Prize—which was launched in 2018 on the 75th anniversary of the publication of T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets in a single volume in America, in 1943—is first and foremost a celebration of the multipart poem, and is awarded to a unified and complete sequence of poems published in America in a print or online journal, chapbook, or book in 2023.
