Annette C. Boehm won the Bare Fiction Debut Poetry Collection Competition 2015, as judged by award winning poet Andrew McMillan who has this to say about The Knowledge Weapon: "Open the book on any page and try not to be impressed by the command of language, the dynamism of image, the thrill of subjects which are on offer."
"In Annette C. Boehm’s stunning The Knowledge Weapon, false knowledge is inflicted—but quickly finds itself shredded by its own sword. This fierce debut collection explores our baroque relations with one another and with a savaged ecology. Can a book be both ominous and playful, both freeing and disturbing? Read this and know."
Angela Ball, Professor of English at The University of Southern Mississippi
