TOWNSHEND — On a trip to Iceland in 2009, poet Lucas Farrell’s wife, artist Louisa Conrad, brought him a fish hook that had pierced the bottom of her boot. The hook sat on his desk for a while as he wrote.
“And then everything I was writing kept steering back to that hook,” Farrell, 39, recalled recently.
His meditations on the fish hook would become the fourth and final section of “the blue-collar sun,” the manuscript that won the Townshend farmer the 2020 Sundog Poetry Book Award for a first or second manuscript by a Vermont poet. This was the first year of the contest, designed to highlight emerging writers.
