Congratulations, Beverly! Sweet to Burn was up against some serious competition, as the other nominees were Antidotes for an Alibi by Amy King, Femme’s Dictionary by Carol Guess, The School Among the Ruins by Adrienne Rich, and Why I Wake Early by Mary Oliver!
Who won for the guys?
I don't know. We posted this announcement because (though it's not immediately apparent) Beverly is in our poetry group--though she doesn't blog. Anyway, she was informed of the good news by her publisher.
C. Dale, Diane, et al., Written in Water by Luis Cernuda was the winner on the men's side.
Congratulations to Beverly -- and this reminds me that hers is a book I've been meaning to pick up!
Thanks, Anne, for the info. You will enjoy Beverly's book.
Thank you for all the congratulations. It really surprised me. I can't believe (now) that I didn't go to New York. BTW, I just got the e-mail from Napa that I'll be in C. Dale's workshop. I look forward to it.
Beverly,
Congrats. And we will meet in Napa soon enough!
I just finished reading "Sweet to Burn," and I burned with desire, tears in my eyes, wide grin on my face. I am about to begin MFA Program in Writing at Vermont College, and what you do in this collection makes me want to translate longing, and lasting long, as well as you.
Wow! In the company of Rich and Oliver!
Would love to see you read, live!
Bless you for writing.
Mel
