All anthology entries have been read and narrowed down to about 1/3 of the entries.

Dear Poetry Soup Anthology Committee, Thank you for supporting all of us. I cannot imagine the scope of your task. I am the judge for out an of state contest. It is a huge responsibility, reading and rereading, and doing it again to be clear on decisions. Speaking for myself, and sure for others... thank you for all your hard work each year. Keep up the good work.
