I am glad to be the first to congratulate Frank. He is SO talented and the nicest guy you can imagine.

Congrats too to the members Jean and Rob and Stephen Scaer. If I've missed a member I'm sorry. All those who aren't members, should join up immediately.

Alex, thanks for taking on this tremendous task and making yet another Alexian contribution to the po-world.

Darn, that Cantor guy is quicker on the draw. I shoulda guessed.

Terrific news! It is time Frank had a book. I can't wait to read it. Congratulations to the finalists, too, including those whose names I don't know. The world is large and full of great poets I haven't heard of yet, so it is always good to hear of more names to look for.

Dear Frank,

HUGE congratulations. And yes, it really is time! I'm so happy for you. (And of course for the other Sphereans, and the rest of the finalists.)

Party?

Charlotte

Great news! Of course, it should have happened years ago but that's another story... Many many congratulations to Frank - and to Able Muse.
