English Professor Mary Pinard

Mary Pinard, Babson College professor of English, won the Ex Ophidia Press Poetry Book Prize for her poetry manuscript, Ghost Heart.

Ex Ophidia also will publish Ghost Heart later this year.

Her work was selected from more than 100 manuscript entries submitted by poets around the world. The contest was judged by Kathleen Flenniken, the former poet laureate of the state of Washington, where Pinard was raised, and whose work particularly resonates with her.
