Thanks to all, but Mike's
being fairly modest. This guy
has WON the contest TWICE.
Alicia's talent we all recognize,
of course.
But...the winner this year deserves
some notice, too, I feel--a woman named
Marion Shore, who has published a
lot in the Formalist over the years.
She lives nearby in Arlington, Mass.,
but we've never seen her up at the
Powows in Newburyport, nor can I recollect
ever hearing her read in the Boston area.
Apparently, she works for the Astrophysics
Lab (?) at Harvard and has done a lot of
work on Petrarch, just like Mike.
