2012 Winner: Able Muse Book Award
 

I'm pleased to announce the contest winners as chosen anonymously by the final contest judge - Mary Jo Salter (for poetry book manuscript)--

Congratulations to Frank Osen, and all the finalists and honorable mentions - (includes more Sphereans!)

Read the complete details here.

Cheers,
...Alex

Great news! Congrats, Frank - and all the finalists as well.

I am glad to be the first to congratulate Frank. He is SO talented and the nicest guy you can imagine.

Congrats too to the members Jean and Rob and Stephen Scaer. If I've missed a member I'm sorry. All those who aren't members, should join up immediately.

Alex, thanks for taking on this tremendous task and making yet another Alexian contribution to the po-world.

Darn, that Cantor guy is quicker on the draw. I shoulda guessed.

GO FRANK! And sincere congratulations to all of you listed. And continuing thanks to Alex for running these competitions.

Terrific news! It is time Frank had a book. I can't wait to read it. Congratulations to the finalists, too, including those whose names I don't know. The world is large and full of great poets I haven't heard of yet, so it is always good to hear of more names to look for.

Congratulations, Frank! And thanks to Alex!

Dear Frank,

HUGE congratulations. And yes, it really is time! I'm so happy for you. (And of course for the other Sphereans, and the rest of the finalists.)

Party?

Charlotte

I'm very pleased to hear that, Frank.
Best,
David

Great news! Of course, it should have happened years ago but that's another story... Many many congratulations to Frank - and to Able Muse.

Congrats, Frank! If your chapbook's anything to go by, it will be very good indeed.
