Default Results of Rondeau Redoublé Contest

I am copying below the announcement from the Rondeau Roundup web site about the winners of Allison Joseph's contest for writing a rondeau redoublé. I was a finalist, and I think many of the other names are either members of Eratosphere or well known to most of you.

Susan


Dear Entrants:

I received so many fine examples of this complex form that I had to invent new categories for the winning poets:

Winner: $100 and publication on the Rondeau Roundup Blog
Toni Clark, for “Rondeau Redouble: Final Stage”

Finalists: $25 and publication on the Rondeau Roundup Blog
Susan McLean, for “Learning to Cope”
Tom Hunley, for “God’s Lonely Man”
Uche Ogbuji, for “Hellgate”

Publication Awards: Publication on the Rondeau Roundup Blog:
Tiel Aisha Ansari, for “How Our New Immigration Policies are Like the Bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef”
Joan Wiese Johannes, for “A Blooming Scandal”

I so enjoyed reading these poems—the level of craft was so very high! Thanks to all the folks who submitted poems for consideration.

The poems will be on the blog throughout the month of May.

Thanks so much,
Allison Joseph, Editor
The Rondeau Roundup

Congratulations, Susan. That's wonderful news.

The announcement says, "The poems will be on the blog throughout the month of May." Does that mean they've have been posted already and will stay up through May? Or does it mean they'll be posted May 1 and remain up through May 31?

Chris, I am guessing that it means that they will be posted one at a time through the month of May. Things posted on the blog stay there. Here is the link to the blog:

P.S., there is also the announcement of a ballade contest at the same site, for those who are interested in giving that form a try.

Susan, I can't find your coping rondeau. Is it still on the blog? Would love to read it.
