Congratulations! It means something. I'm really impressed with the quality of the books, the poems. All of the winners (and finalists!) have been outstanding.

Congratulations! Next time ... who knows?

Alison Pelegrin said...

Hey that's great--good for you Suzanne!

gina said...

You know my feeling, S. Not close enough. But celebrate, do, because people who don't know you think it's a great great book.

Charles said...

Any day now, they will come for your book. Your poems are beautiful.

Congrats! *hug* Being a finalist is an honor, but doesn't it make you want to slug that person right out of the number 1 slot? ;)(Uhmm... that could just be my hostile/competitive nature talking.)

Thanks for the kind words & encouragment. Y'all are sweet. xo

belated congratulations- I think I rejected a poem from you many years ago at Melic, only to see it later somewhere else and think, perhaps...

Keeping my fingers crossed for next time.
