We are proud to share that the Department of English has recognized Zoe Brader-Araje’s poetry with The Julia Viola McNeely Prize for Poetry!
This award was established by Ms. McNeely’s family to encourage poetry writing by the undergraduates of Washington University. Ms. McNeely, a Howard Nemerov writing scholar at Washington University, wrote lyric poetry with a spiritual dimension. The prize carries an award of $300.
With Zoe’s permission, we are happy to share her award-winning poem:
Zoe is not only an impressive writer but also an outstanding peer tutor in The Writing Center. This semester, she has taken on a leadership role in the training and mentorship of our newest tutors, ensuring that her skills and experiences are carried on by her successors.
Congratulations, Zoe!
