HOW TO VOTE: You can send your vote to me by email or as a comment on the blog (or as a comment to my Facebook link to this call for votes). If you want to vote by commenting but do not want your vote to appear on the blog, you just have to say so in your comment (I moderate all comments on my blog). If you want to vote anonymously, that's okay, but please choose some sort of pseudonym so I can keep track of different votes by anonymous voters. I will post comments as they come in.

this week's vote,
Cinzia
I read and re-read this week's offerings,but I could never get
excited about any particular poem.
I guess I will have to pass.

Metamorphosis by Lynn Emanuel
Two interesting thoughts that came while reading this week's selections:
1) "Your Family's Farm, Empty" is the poem "The Farm to Choose" was trying to be.
2) I am still disturbed by "vulgar" words (such as "shit") in poetry, even though they are part of the common language & thus *should* be part of a poem, there is something about them that still draws me out of the imagery. I think that's just me, though.
Lantz for me, too
nick lantz for me
Mark Conway. Scholar of the Sorrows. (why does no one else like this poem??)
not excited about any but I'll go for Canticle of Assisi, Atkinson. I'm hoping Reeve won't win.
In the Men's Room at the Café Provence, by F. D. Reeve
I'm with Don here: Atkinson, with Conway and Emanuel as my next-bests.
