It's always exciting to see a formalist make the cut for a Guggenheim.

Cate Marvin also got a Fellowship. I'm in the middle of her collection, Oracle, and it is an inspiration to ... branch out!

I am also anxious to read Rowan R. Phillips' work--another winner. He seems to cut it down the middle.

Loud cheers for Joshua Mehigan. And I'm definitely going to read more Philips, and I'm interested to hear Rick's assessment of Cate Marvin.

Have you read any of Marvin's work, Maryann? I had read the odd thing here and there and thought it typical edgy, kick-ass free verse, but I am in the middle of her new collection, Oracle, and I'm really getting into it. I plan to write an Amazon review, more or less as a means of figuring out why I like something so fundamentally different from what I have been so focused on for so long. I'm reading a lot of things lately that I think I may have been avoiding up until now. Contemporary stuff.

And, yes! I have said it elsewhere (two minutes before this thread~,:^), congrats to Josh, whose work I admire the hell out of!
