Being a Finalist RULES!
It's true, especially for someone who has never won anything!
I was thrilled to be in the company Saturday of so many talented poets. We had a lovely time at the 2011 Paterson Poetry Prize Reading. Hosted by Maria Mazziotti Gillan and Passaic County Community College, it was a wonderful celebration of craft and hard work.
Sherman Alexie, who won the top prize, was not there, and we were all disappointed he couldn't make it. But I really think he missed out on something special.
Congratulations to all the finalists!
