Hey, let me be the first to step up and congratulate EVERYBODY. This is SO cool.
And Marion, what a wonderful announcement. I'd love to see a list of the past winners. Lots of familiar names there, huh.

I am pretty sure a read about this right here in AM some time ago, but it is worth celebrating again: Way to go Stephen!
What percentage of Nemerov winners and finalists have been Eratoshoperians? It must be high.

Here's the answer, on this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_...v_Sonnet_Award
Looks like it's easier to ask who wasn't an Eratospherean

Congratulations, Stephen!
Likewise, great job, all of you finalists. I enjoyed all of the Sphereans' poems, including the one by Marion Shore, who started this thread.

Marion, when I saw your headline, I was thinking "Rats! I was sure that the deadline was in November." Luckily, it turned out that you just meant that Stephen won last year's contest and the winners were finally appearing in Measure.
