Midwest Writing Center is pleased to announce that Stephen Frech's collection, The Dark Villages of Childhood, has been selected by our panel of judges as the winning manuscript in our first annual chapbook contest. Dr. Frech is Associate Professor of English at Millikin University in Decatur, IL. Stephen Frech's great strength in The Dark Villages of Childhood is not the elegant metaphor, though he has some of these, but the uncanny selection of mundane details that startle by their rightness.
