Default Richard Wilbur Award: latest news

These are the results of the 2020 Wilbur Award contest, of interest to us because there are so many Sphere- and Able Muse-connected folks here:

Winner: M.B. Smith's Midlife. (That would be Matthew Buckley Smith, past winner of the Able Muse Book Prize.)

Finalists:
Brian Brodeur
Amy Bagan
Daniel Galef
Nicole Garcia
Ernest Hilbert
Jean Kreiling
John Moessner
Leslie Monsour
Maura Stanton
Sally Thomas

Congratulations to all these excellent poets!

(The info above was reported in the official letter to one of the finalists, reproduced in a photo on Facebook. Thanks, Daniel, for letting us know!)

Congratulations to Matthew, and what a stellar list of finalists! Although I don't know all of them, the ones I do know are quite worthy of being winners, too.

Thank you, Maryann.

And thank you to the Sphereans who workshopped the poems I shared on the forum.

Congrats to fellow Finalists as well.
