AHP is pleased to announce that Jessie Petrow-Cohen's collection, This Middle Living, has been selected by Ira Sukrungruang as the winner of the 2026 Nonfiction Prize. Of the book, Ira says: "This Middle Living speaks a universal truth: grief never leaves..."

Infographic with award title, author name and author photo

Infographic with award winning citation: “This Middle Living is so much more than one woman’s search for self in the face of grief and the pain that grief cleaves. It is more than how to negotiate the empty spaces—literal and metaphorical—of the ones you have come to need. It is more than a book about need. . . . With such sharp prose, The Middle Living speaks a universal truth: grief never leaves; it’s how to make room for it in the new configuration of our lives as days, months, years tick by.”

Infographic with full text from Amber: “These stories are full of voices, lived-in and loud, a tangle of lives. But they’re also full of music, riffs and beats and wry asides and long, twisting solos. It’s a clever, but deeply human book, and I loved every story in it.”
