News flash from the SMU site for the Morton Marr Poetry Prize: Sphereans Austin Macrae (amacrae) and Bill Lantry (that's W.F. Lantry to the rest of the world) are in that list of finalists. Congrats on placing, guys!

Obviously the only contests to spend money on would be those for women only or those over age (what shall we guess) age ??

Bill, pls tell us your age.

Congrats Austin and that other guy too.

Congratulations, Morton Marr near-medalists! "Finalist" has an admirable ring to it.

Best,
Jean

[Nicholas F.]

Congrats to you!

[W.F. Lantry]

Curses, foiled again!

Congrats to Peter Kline, a worthy poet!

And congrats to Austin, and Douglas Basford, an all around good guy who was also a finalist last year.

As for me, I find myself once again in a bridesmaid's outfit. Do you think this dress is slimming?

As consolation, December Evening went up today...

But seriously, Maryann, Nicholas, Jean, thanks for your kind words.

And Janice, I'm so old I can remember how dinosaurs tasted. Barbequed. With sauce!

Thanks,

Bill

Congrats Bill and Austin. Do they publish the finalists? SWR is a nice venue.
