The Fourth Daily Poem Project, Week 7 results

THE FOURTH DAILY POEM PROJECT, WEEK SEVEN RESULTS

The winner of the seventh week of my fourth Daily Poem Project is "The Star Market," by Marie Howe, which received 4 votes out of 14 cast.

The vote was exceptionally close, with Kevin McFadden's "Is" receiving three votes and three other poems receiving two each. Many of those who posted comments on the call for votes post said that they found themselves choosing among several of the poems.

My thanks to everyone who voted. I'll be posting the call for votes for week eight in a few minutes.

Winner of week one: Alison Brackenbury's "Edward Thomas's daughter"
Winner of week two: Martha Zweig's "Overturn"
Winner of week three: B. T. Shaw's "We End, Like Galileo"
Winner of week four: Damian Walford Davies's "Plague"
Winner of week five: Mary Jo Salter's "Point of View"

This is the seventh week of twelve weeks, at the end of which the twelve winners will be put together for a final vote.

HOW TO VOTE: You can send your vote to me by email or as a comment on the blog. 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). (If you read this on Facebook, please vote on my blog and not as a comment on Facebook.) I will post comments as they come in (unless you tell me not to post the comment, of course).

You may vote by the title, the author's name, or the number of the poem in the list above. Please make a final decision and vote for only one poem (although it is always interesting to see people's lists).

Please VOTE BY SATURDAY, April 11! But I will still accept votes as long as I have not posted the final results, which I will do on April 12. If you would like to receive an email announcing the posting of the results, make sure to get me your email address somehow (if it is not available through your blogger profile or the like, say).
