Welcome to Interim’s fifth Test Site Poetry Series finalists’ issue. The series board took longer than usual to narrow the field this year, as there were so many excellent manuscripts to choose from. We at last chose Bruce Bond’ The Dove of the Morning News for the 2022 TSPS winner and Hannah Dierdorff’s Rain, Wind, Thunder, Fire, Daughter for the third winner of the Betsy Joiner Flannagan Award in Poetry. All of the poems collected here are from the 12 manuscripts that were finalists from the over 200 books we received. The methods and subjects in each of these manuscripts matched the innovation and consideration for the human and natural world that are central to our series. We are honored to publish all of these poems.
