"Strong Measures" is one of my all-time fave anthologies. If you don't have it, folks, get it. So congrats to Philip Dacey too.

Many thanks for the kind words, everyone! I just received permission from Bill to make the news public, and I'm already finding it everywhere!
To say that I'm ecstatic would be a miserable understatement. I sing, I dance, I throw money to strangers in the street. I feel so proud to belong to this glorious company. Not quite ready to sing Nunc dimittis,
but nearly.
And now I'm eager to know who the other finalists are. Cathy, Quincy, Jean, Philip, and who else?

I believe that's Jean Kreiling's third finalist designation in three (four?) years. Congratulations and congratulations and congratulations.

Congrats, Gail!
It should take a few weeks for the smoking jacket to come.

Long overdo recognition. Gail was polishing perfectly fashioned sonnets when I was in short pants. Brava.

Note - I received the full list of finalists from Bill Baer and it is appended to my Post #3 above. I believe there are at least six Spherians included.

Many thanks for the continued flattering comments. The Sphere is a wonderful place.
Full disclosure: "Old Photographs" was originally called "Family Album" and was rejected about 3 times. Then I changed the title, put in a new last line, and POW! So perseverence pays. Never despair.

Thanks for the list, Michael, and warm congrats to all. Especially Gail. Enough about how wonderful you all are, though: when will they come out, so we can read them? This will be an issue to savor.
Best,
Ed
P.S. I really liked Strong Measures, too -- god knows what happened to my copy. I still have Rebel Angels, though.
