Thank you, comrades in the craft. Thank you all. I'm delighted beyond measure to have received this award. I've never been to New York, and how wonderful that it's a poem taking me there.
The link Sharon provided, and the one I placed in my initial post, will take you to a String Poet website page with more information. David Yezzi was the final judge of the poetry submissions, and Judith Shatin is the musical composer who will create a piece inspired by the poem. Her résumé is most impressive. This musical element of the award is unique and marvelous, and I'm eager to hear the musical impression my poem inspired.
