I'll take the easy way out here and just quote from James's Facebook post (here):

I'm thrilled to learn that my book Sailing to Babylon has been recognized with an Outstanding Achievement Award by the Wisconsin Library Association, in recognition of its "literary merit as well as the quality of the writing, editing, printing, and publishing." Warm congratulations to my editor and publisher Alex Pepple at Able Muse Press, and many thanks to the members of the Wisconsin Library Association's Literary Awards Committee for this honor.
          -- James Pollock

Congratulations to James! ... and, errrr, I guess since "editing, printing, and publishing" are also awarded, congratulations to yours truly also!

Cheers,
...Alex

It is a beautiful work in a beautiful setting. And certainly, Alex, some glory dust falls on you for that setting.

[Catherine Chandler]

A well-deserved award and praise for all concerned. Congratulations, James and Alex!

[Jean L. Kreiling]

A terrific testament to the talents of both poet and publisher!

Best,
Jean
