The winner of New Delta Review's Seventh Annual Chapbook Contest, Dana Diehl’s "TV Girls" is at once a celebration and interrogation of reality television and its conventions, going beyond the pristine decor of the Fantasy Suite and into the mess of reality at its realest. In high-definition prose, Diehl takes a genre often known for exploitative nature and makes it the locus of an exercise in radical empathy. Chen Chen, the judge of this year’s contest, writes of "TV Girls": “Story after story, Diehl discovers fraught vulnerabilities and startling truths in the lives of girls and women confronting the expectations of TV, lovers, family, and one another.” For a sneak peak, check out the title story, which was re-published in New Delta Review's latest issue.
