First here is the list of poets and poems in the order they went up:

Breakfast Radio: Janet Kenny
Zyzzyva: Catherine Chandler-Oliveira
Where are the Negligees of Anthony: Michael Cantor

February 18: Tim Murphy
Happy Birthday: Orwn Acra
In Memoriam: Edmund Conti
Skiddoo Skiddon't: Robert Schechter
Innards: Ann Drysdale
Sonnet on a First Line: Chris O'Carroll (but HE says it's by Frank Osen???)
The News Comes Every Morning: Quincy Lehr
Why You can't Go Home: Teresa Coe
The Spanish Ambassador's Daughter: Julie Stoner

The winning poets by Democratic Vote were:

1. Julie Stoner (26)
2. Chris O'Carroll (or perhaps Frank Osen) (23)
3. Michael Cantor (20)
4. Quincy Lehr (19)

The Winners through Whitworth's Dictatorial Fiat were

1. Michael Cantor
2. Teresa Coe
3. Julie Stoner
4= Mary Meriam and Ann Drysdale

If Michael Cantor will send me his address I will send to him Marilyn Monroe. I can't say fairer than that.

I thought the poems were excellent, including many nobody saw but me.
