Congratulations to Ben Ahlrichs, whose poem "Abderus on Heracles" has been been selected as the winner of the The Iowa Review's David Hamilton Undergraduate Creative Writing Prize. This prize is sponsored by anonymous donors who wish to honor the mentorship and support that students at the University of Iowa received from Emeritus Professor of English David Hamilton. In addition to publication online, the award comes with a $500 scholarship.  This year, we had a robust submissions pool of University of Iowa student writing to choose from, and we thank those faculty members who nominated student work for this annual award.  Find the winning poem below.
