July 15th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags


I'm letting the news in rags speak for itself this week, because other news is spreading in online poetry circles about the results of the IBPC Poem of the Year Competition, as judged by the remarkable Kelly Cherry. Congrats to:

Dale McLain of Wild Poetry Forum for her 1st place poem "Bad Weather"

Sergio Lima Facchini of Poets.org for his 2nd place poem "A Second Look at Creation"

Adam Elgar of The Writers Block for his 3rd place poem "The Man Next Door According to His Pockets"

Honorable mentions:

Guy Kettelhack of About Poetry Forum for "Bird Painter"

Brenda Levy Tate of criticalpoet.com for "Spring Dance"

Brenda Levy Tate of criticalpoet.org for "Carol for the Brokenhearted"

Congrats to all! And heartfelt thanks to Kelly Cherry for her selections and wonderfully-done commentary.

Yours,
Rus
