Congrats to all the winners, finalists, and honorable mentions...especially to Matthew Buckley Smith for winning the popular vote by a landslide. It's kind of amazing how it wasn't even close. For the poets and critics here who often don't agree about much, it's a testament to the strength of "Requited Love" that it captured votes by a solid majority of participants.
I'm also heartened to see so many entrants who were not "regulars" at Eratosphere. Hopefully many will decide to stick around and contribute to the various forums. They can only get better.
