Vanderbilt University Press is thrilled to announc

Vanderbilt University Press is thrilled to announce Stephanie Niu as the inaugural winner of the Vanderbilt University Literary Prize.

A panel of jurists selected Niu’s I Would Define the Sun, a collection of poems about resisting scarcity through language. The collection is scheduled for publication in February 2025.

“It still feels surreal to have my first full-length collection honored by this prize and to know that such an esteemed group of poets, many of whom are longtime inspirations, believe in my work,” Niu said.

Congratulations, Stephanie! Read the full announcement at the link in our bio.
