Winner of the 2016 Backwaters Prize, Henri Cole, judge. In Stunt Heart, Mary Jo Thompson's debut collection, a female gaze locates the ironies inside the subjects of marriage and death, loneliness and love, speaking and silence. The title plays on both sick hearts and circus tricks; these poems are direct, personal, and disarmingly emotive.
