Corina Chase (I) and Chloe Cole (II) were named recipients of the 2008 Howard Nemerov Creative Writing Award given by the writing program at Washington University. Students from across the country submitted their poems, short stories and novel chapters to be judged by a panel of faculty at the University—including fiction writers Kathryn Davis and Kellie Wells, and poets Mary Jo Bang and Carl Phillips. Writing samples by Corina and Chloe were among the three chosen as award winners.
