Hello!
Just got an email. My poem "My Brother And I Do Tricks Dad Taught Us" got on the shortlist for the 2021 Poetry By The Sea "Kim Bridgford Memorial Sonnet Contest". Cathy Chandler is there too. People here may know other names on the list.
Yay!
Edit: I just spotted Ned Balbo in the Sonnet Crown list. I know Ned. Well done Ned!
