Thanks so much, John, for bearing with the record keeping, red tape, fuss, and minor frustrations attendant on this event and giving us your thoughts and choices. May it all be for the good of the Sphere!
I hope everybody who had a poem posted will let us know which is whose.
"Emergences," I confess, is mine, first published in the infamous
Shit Creek Review last February.
But duh. I should probably put this note in the poem's thread. Congratulations to all on both lists of winners!
