Sponsored by the Madwomen in the Attic Creative Writing Workshops at Carlow University, the Patricia Dobler Poetry Award is an annual contest open to women writers aged 40 and over who have not published a full-length book of poetry. This award is named for the late poet Patricia Dobler, who taught for many years at Carlow University and directed the Women’s Center for Creative Writing and the Madwomen in the Attic Writing Workshops. She is the author of Collected Poems (Autumn House Press, 2005); Talking to Strangers (University of Wisconsin Press, 1986), which won the Brittingham Prize in Poetry; UXB (Mill Hunk Books, 1991); and Forget Your Life (University of Nebraska Press).
