Campbell Corner

So, I guess it's official, three of my poems (two from A Murmuration of Starlings and one new one) were named as a "distinguished entry" in this year's Campbell Corner poetry contest, and I'll be going to New York in October to read at Sarah Lawrence with the other entrants.

Hey, way to go, break a leg, etc!

When are you back from NYC? I've got questions/topics for our conversation, when you can get to it.
