Circle Way has won the 2023 Gold Nautilus Award in the national contest’s category for “Lyric Prose.” Nautilus celebrates “Better Books for a Better World,” honoring works that support conscious living, green values, wellness, social change, social justice and spiritual growth. The lyric category focuses on books “evoking compassion, wisdom, greater understanding, empathy, joy, delight, and passion through lyric prose, poetry-prose hybrid, and other genre blending works expressed in poetic language.”
Also this year, the book was a 2023 Montaigne Medal Finalist, an honor for “the most thought-provoking books.” The medal, part of the Eric Hoffer Book Awards, is named after French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, who influenced thinkers such as Shakespeare, Descartes, Emerson, Nietzsche and Hoffer.
