JeFF Stumpo, Author

Announcements are officially up on social media, so I can say it here: my manuscript these are the waterfalls in my head, which I have referred to regularly over the past couple of years as the dreamscapes, won the Granite State Poetry Prize and will be published by Yas Press (University of New Hampshire) in April 2026. I’ll be reading (and likely giving a workshop) at the Nossrat Yassini Poetry Festival at UNH on April 17 with Diannely Antigua, Cornelius Eady, and the yet-to-be-announced winner of the Nossrat Yassini Prize.

This will be my first full-length collection of poetry, and I am beyond stoked. I’ve started reaching out to universities, slams, and open mics for reading/workshop opportunities, as well as journals that may want to review the book. Feel free to get in touch with me through the contact form on this website if you’d be interested in me coming to your venue/institution.
