Jury Citation
“Tiana Reid’s Nightnursing is as visceral as it is luminous. This collection moves with grit and frankness and striking language, laying bare a journey through “healing” and sobriety. More than charting recovery, Reid troubles the very idea of it, resisting the demand that survival resolve into wellness, coherence, or cure. This work is experimental in language and form; playful and gutting in turns. The poet slants language in surprising and delightful ways, even as the poems stun you.”—2026 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ2S+ Emerging Writers (francesca ekwuyasi, Kama La Mackerel, Michael V.
