Earlier this week, the 2008 contest results were posted on The Pinch's website. I'm grateful to Sandra Meek for her decision to select one of my poems as this year's winner.
This has been an encouraging and humbling experience. It's wonderful to have the recognition, but I'm certain there were other fantastic poems that could have won as well. So it's one of those successes that springs from both hard work and luck.
"I am in Love with Old Men" will appear in the next issue of The Pinch. It's a poem I'd brought to a workshop hosted by Ellen Bass with Joseph Millar and Dorianne Laux, and I'm also grateful to the participants of that workshop, as well as to the faithful and ever-encouraging and insightful members of my writer's group, for their feedback.

Congrats again, Rebecca!
Yes, we are "every-encouraging", aren't we? :D
That was an awesome poem, and you deserve the recognition. Yay!
