"Michael Martone, choosing Katherine McCord’s RUN SCREAM UNBURY SAVE as Autumn House Press’ Creative Nonfiction Prize, calls the literary memoir 'extraordinary,' 'a book’s BOOK. A map more detailed than the thing it represents. . .with goddamn gumption and infinite grace.' Katherine McCord hilariously and poignantly captures living, as a writer/person/mother/professor/wife, that is, as anyone, overly aware and stunned by the time we are in, this often fascinating but very difficult age."

KATHERINE MCCORD is the author of two books of poetry, Island and Living Room. Her third book, My CIA, was named a top-ten book of 2012 by the Review of Art, Literature, Philosophy and Humanities and added to their ongoing list of great nonfiction reads. Her memoir, Run Scream Unbury Save, was the winner of the 2016 Autumn House Press Nonfiction Contest. McCord teaches creative writing at Stevenson University and the University of Maryland University College.
