I like it when good news comes in twos... I was surprised to find out today that my poem, "Diagnosing God", won the 2006 Laureate Prize for Poetry from National Poetry Review. The editor was understandably a little concerned, since I also won the Annie Finch Prize from the same journal, but both contests were judged blind (not to mention separately) so she went ahead and graciously awarded me the Laureate Prize as well, in spite of the coincidence. Woo hoo!! :)
