Who Says There Are No Fair Poetry Judges? Stern, Rankine, Reyes - The Best
That's, Barbara Jane Reyes, AKA William Blake, *winner* of this year's Laughlin award for second book of poetry from THEe Academy of American Poets, ahem, for Poeta en San Francisco. Too cool. That's a great book. Plus, she has the Silliman Seal of Approval, the SSA from another who knows how to pick 'em. Good show. All well-deserved. Read all about it at my favorite Chatelaine poet, Eileen Tabios, who also has a fine interview with her — and gets the scoop. Congratulations, Barbara! You "inspire the hell out of" us, too.
