Final

I can now announce that my manuscript, Glossolalia, was named as a finalist for the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry. This now sets the book prize finalist tally at 3: Beatrice Hawley/Alice James Books, Walt Whitman, and Prairie Schooner. It didn't win, but it's great to have been a finalist. I sound like an Academy Award Reject.

The ms is still out at 5 different places, so we'll see. [Fingers crossed].

Great news. I wish more of these contests would post the finalists on their websites, though.

I don't think it's going to be long before you get the best news possible.
