I think that line would be applicable only if you'd never sent the manuscript out 17 times, sir.

You make me want to try, almost.

Thanks for that.

How much in entry fees is that?

Here's to winnin'!

I got the new Matter in the mail today. The contents page actually helped me find your poem this time. A fun piece, lots of surprising juxtaposes.

Thanks, Laurel.

Glenn, you make me think the line should be: I have wasted my cash.

(Actually, I've been saving up to make a push this year. We'll see what happens. Lots of good writers and there, and who knows how much nepotism to sift through.)

I liked your poem, too. I thought there were two, but so far, I've only found the one on p194.

"Says the man, 'Ah.'"

Nice work.

I wish you the best of luck in all these contests. I'm entering the Walt Whitman one this week, I guess. My best chance is in a local one in my area, the Washington Writers Publishing House. But it's really a crapshoot.

Hell, it's all a crap shoot. I wish you luck! You're writing good work. Some one will publish it sooner than later.

I'm pretty sure you're going to win the one with the largest cash prize, since that's the one you deserve.

C, you are way too nice.

Are you still writing mind-poppingly good poems?

Email me one sometime.
