THE MARCH INTERBOARD POETRY COMPETITiON WINNERS AND OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The winners, a new board added, a new judge for May-August and publication at Writer’s Hood proceeding. I. The winners. The poems will follow all announcements. The poems will initially be posted at IBPC. First place: When Does the First Train Leave for Atlanta, Gary Blankenship, Wild Poetry. An ambitious and impressive narrative with a compelling mixture of everyday speech and mundane details. Something of a collage, this poem contains unexpected music, magic and lyricism. Certainly more than the sum of its parts. Second place: Letter for A. R. Ammons, Gary Kennan, poets.org Successful (and timely) tribute to A.R. Ammons. Striking detail and unusual visual and musical effects. Third place: Chemo-Therapy, Wendy Gravet, BlueLine Moving, direct, painful--but also transcends the pain it speaks of.

Myers, Mi Poesias The Thing about Colors, Ani Gjika, Atlantic Unbound True Red or “I Used To Be Snow White, but I Drifted,” Noelle Boyle, Callahan’s Saloon Heritage, Cristina Farinas, Gandy Creek Chicago Bob, Phil Stinson, Rabbit Hole II.
