You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but both the 1st and 2nd place books sport excellent titles, and there are some intriguing ones among the short-listers, too. A great read will be had by all. Congratulations to everyone mentioned, but especially to Carrie Shippes and Gail White.

Best,

Ed

Exciting! I look forward to discovering Carrie, and adding to my arsenal of Gailbooks.

Hey, Richard! I'd love to have a collection by you, too! Fingers crossed!

[Edited to clarify that my fingers are crossed for luck, so that your MS will be one of the finalists chosen for publication, and not because I'm fibbing.]

Thank you all, dear friends -- I am delighted to be released from secrecy, in which I have been weltering for several days. It's a great privilege to be chosen for publication by Able Muse, and I'm thrilled to have achieved my goal of getting another book out by the age of 70 (full disclosure -- that birthday comes on April 1st). You people are all my favorite poets, and my favorite readers as well. Floreat Eratosphere!
