The winner is...


I’m excited for Kelli Agodon - winner of the White Pine Poetry Book Prize! The judge for this year was Carl Dennis, poet who wrote Practical Gods, which won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 2002.




Kelli’s winning manuscript Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room will be published in fall 2010.  Her book Small Knots, published 2004 is already among my favorite poetry books. I can't wait to read Letters. Congratulations Kelli!

Ah, thank you, Michael!

I was up from 2 am-4:30 am last night. I hadn't realized that good news has such an effect on REM sleep! I was glad to wake up today and realize it wasn't a dream!

Thank you dearly for all your support!
