Perfect Storm Contest UPDATE

Blog Posted:10/4/2017 8:32:00 PM

I just wanted to say that as I am reading the entries for the contest that it is very emotional because of the quality of the writes. They, in total have become that perfect storm especially in light of recent events that are the same and all the storms that come in so many guises. What an inspired job you have done. So you know, in each contest I print out all the poems that advance to round 2 and narrow them after mutliple reads to the final ten - cut them into seperate slips of paper and sort them and read them again and again - sorting their order again and again until the final placement---this contest is the toughest yet--great and inspired work, thank you for sharing them with me, with all of us.-----The contest is judged and I will post it now, what amazing writes which were very hard to separate as they were so very close in artistic expression.
