Publishing Triangle Awards

They've announced the winners of the Publishing Triangle Awards, for which I was a judge in poetry. The number and range of outstanding books of poetry by queer men was especially exceptional -- in addition to the finalists, I'd mention Voluntary Servitude by Mark Wunderlich, which I've written about here before, More Than Peace and Cypresses by Cyrus Cassells -- here's a link to the stunning title poem -- and Nothing Ugly Fly by Marvin K. White.

Special congrats to my friend Alison Smith, whose memoir, Name All the Animals, won in the nonfiction category.
